PPTP和OpenVPN之间的区别

先决条件–虚拟专用网(VPN)的类型
1.点对点隧道协议(PPTP)：
PPTP由Microsoft引入。它是实现虚拟专用网络的一组通信规则，使组织可以通过隧道扩展到公共Internet的方式来扩展其专用网络。通过创建基于TCP / IP的网络(例如VPN)，它可以创建从远程客户端到私有企业网络的数据传输的安全路由。

PPTP具有以下优点–

• 硬件成本低
• 增强安全性
• 传输成本低
• 降低管理费用

2. OpenVPN：
OpenVPN是由James Yonan引入的。它是用于实现VPN连接的最先进，更可靠和更流行的开源软件应用程序。

它更灵活，可在以下情况下使用：

• 您需要高安全性的高级解决方案
• 您需要特殊功能，例如特定的隧道传输
• Internet提供商阻止了您，或者您想忽略限制性防火墙。
