I take your point, but it doesn't mean OpenVPN is not a possible 
solution to whatever scenario Somesh has.

It is proven, scalable, well supported, functional and available to all 
for free.

"OpenVPN implements OSI layer 2 or 3 secure network extension using the 
industry standard SSL/TLS protocol, supports flexible client 
authentication methods based on certificates, smart cards, and/or 
2-factor authentication, and allows user or group-specific access 
control policies using firewall rules applied to the VPN virtual interface."
