OpenVPN Review 2021 - Waarom 7.8 Sterren?

Look a protocol is a protocol. OpenVPN is meant if setup for you to put it on a box somewhere else other than your home network. You could put it on an amazon S3 server somewhere or a box you rent elsewhere and then it would change the API. It likely didn't change your VPN as you were very likely just using it on your home network. You can't just slap a protocol / client on your home machine and expect it to do something as that is not how it works. OpenVPN (which is what the VPN provider you are using uses as their protocol too by the way) is literally like saying you aren't able to send email because you only downloaded an email client or protocol and never bothered actually setting it up as a provider or the like. (For whatever reason the likely was not got cut off and I had typed more there. My initial statement was likely not setting it up on a separate server outside your home). OpenVPN is literally just meant to be a protocol for you or for vpn services to use to set up a VPN service of your own. It will not change your IP unless you actively set it up on a separate server so to clarify here for OpenVPN to work if you are using it yourself and not using a provider (like Windscribe) requires use of a server you yourself have access to. There are many guides out there how to use OpenVPN to set up your own VPN service/server and how to use the OpenVPN client (there is both a back end and front end to it) to connect to it as well as using windows 10 (and some other OSes) built in VPN connections as well. The ticket to ride the short bus shit is really out of line because it is you that seems to be confused and if you actually go to OpenVPNs site it basically states either hosting for business, personal (they provide a VPN through their private tunnel VPN), or you can download Access Server to use on Linux (debian, red hat, ubuntu, centOS, amazon linux 2) you however still need a server outside of your home set up for access server and then use the OpenVPN client software to access it. Almost every single VPN provider on the planet currently uses OpenVPN (some are developing newer protocols now too). It is not their fault that you got confused and likely did not set up a server and instead just started slapping around the VPN client software that literally does nothing without being connected. I can guarantee you are using Windscribe with the OpenVPN protocol as their ipsec protocol was trash when I used it and isn't secure (it also defaults to openVPN). This is a case of you saw VPN in the name and somehow assumed it was a VPN service like Windscribe and not a VPN client/server meant to setup your own service. To use your own analogy against you it is like going out and buying a strawberry jam kit and then saying that you don't have strawberry jam because they expect you to actually make it first or someone else to make it then sell it.
