OpenVPN是一个用于创建虚拟专用网络加密信道的软件包，最早由James Yonan编写。OpenVPN允许创建的VPN使用公开密钥、电子证书、或者用户名／密码来进行身份验证。

它大量使用了OpenSSL加密库中的SSLv3/TLSv1协议函数库。

目前OpenVPN能在Solaris、Linux、OpenBSD、FreeBSD、NetBSD、Mac OS X与Microsoft Windows以及Android和iOS上运行，并包含了许多安全性的功能。它并不是一个基于Web的VPN软件，也不与IPsec及其他VPN软件包兼容。

OpenVPN is an open-source software application that implements virtual private network (VPN) techniques for creating secure point-to-point or site-to-site connections in routed or bridged configurations and remote access facilities. It uses a custom security protocol that utilizes SSL/TLS for key exchange. It is capable of traversing network address translators (NATs) and firewalls. It was written by James Yonan and is published under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
