Re: Help with troubleshooting performance issue

I have some Linux OpenVPN clients and I am using it in a couple of site to site situations.   OpenVPN seems great if the clients are reasonably stable.  But in my world, I have several customers with traveling Windows laptops and Windows servers, and they seem to change laptops like I change my socks.  As I see it, the challenge with OpenVPN is setting up the traveling laptops over and over and over and over again.   The setups and certificates for each individual laptop are unique, and every time I introduce a new laptop, I need to update the server settings with the info about the new laptop.  So this makes the server unstable when I have to update the server config every few days to accommodate somebody's new or rebuilt laptop.

Unless I'm missing something.

With PPTP, I can teach an end user to run through a 30 second wizard and he's set.  The Windows PPTP server is also easy to set up.  I read the Bruce Schneier paper about PPTP way back in the NT 4 days.  PPTP has improved since then - the shame is, Microsoft did not continue to improve it and now support for PPTP is fading away everywhere.
