Benefits
Good to know about this tool
Compares the three common VPN technologies WireGuard, OpenVPN and IPsec/IKEv2 against your requirements and gives a reasoned recommendation.
Because the choice of VPN technology is often made out of habit rather than actual need.
- Choose a VPN technology for a new company network
- Check an existing OpenVPN setup for modernization potential
- Compare VPN options for mobile field staff
- With mixed device fleets, always consider the least-supported platform
- Regularly check whether older routers/firmware still receive security updates
- Use split tunneling deliberately and document it
