How do you use OpenVPN?

Hey everybody,

I've tried several firmware builds over the years, and I usually just use the standard versions. I've noticed that there are several builds that offer OpenVPN functionality, and I have to admit I'm not overly familiar with it (yet)

How are you using OpenVPN? To connect to a remote office or for other business use? Or is there an "everyday" or "consumer" based functionality that would be useful?

I use openvpn when I am at a hotel or internet hotspot. I dont know if someone is using a sniffer, so I vpn to my home to secure my information.

Thanks for the input, tx

Thanks for the input, tx_tiger--this is exactly the kind of thing I was curious about. This is a way anyone could use it, in fact, I should really consider it. For now, I'm usually using mobile broadband (I seem to have terrible luck getting usable speed on public networks) but if I ever need to use one, vpn seems like a good way to stay secure.
