    A visual comparison of provider's and their custom control panels. Lots of screenshots!

    @MannDude nice writeup! I like the idea to compare custom panels and that both creators and customers are able to compare things that are behind closed doors. You can use the screenshots in my reviews too to add some additional custom panels: OpenITC: Bandwagon Host:

    Vultr the great animal f*****

    First OpenVPN Questions

    Regarding your questions: 1. Depends on your key length. I would switch to key based access. No usernames and no passwords. I never would use local users for vpn. 2. OpenVPN is listening to a udp port so you have to grant access to it. If you want to use the internet connection of your vps...
