OpenVPN is a very popular cross platform open source VPN protocol. Many VPN providers offer a tailored version of the open source OpenVPN client to aid in the installation and configuration of the protocol for their service. Some providers even add custom features to their clients. However, many users desire to install the peer reviewed open source code for extra peace of mind. Some users, go a step further, preferring to compile the source code themselves to ensure they are getting binaries that are guaranteed to match the peer reviewed open source code.

My hacking career began at age 12, when my father brought home a Sinclair ZX-81 computer kit and a lifelong fascination with computing was born. I became a privacy and security advocate after learning of the US Government's criminal investigation against Phil Zimmermann. Years later I found myself in Silicon Valley being paid to hack Phil's PGP code. I soon tired of the rat race and moved to the Northwoods of Minnesota where I have over 2 million acres of protected wilderness to roam. Here I indulge in my passions for wilderness and technology and as an advocate for computer security and privacy.
