    In security point of view , it is a best solution in our organization. because different department need different type of security levels. NAT gateways expose IP addresses to specific CIDR blocks for high security levels, this process achieved by mapping IP addresses of private to specific IP addresses. it is great tool for this purpose.

    If you looking for a reliable, light weight and secure VPN server, than OpenVPN Access Server is the one. Easy to install and manage, OpenVPN will provide secure remote connections, with a very good integration with almost all LDAP directories, for user management. With my experience, I don't see any scenario that OpenVPN won't be able to handle.

It also has a quick and easy view of the connections opened, with possible actions, such as a very efficient kill switch and reconnect options.

    OpenVPN had a better UI and usability for our team. It was more straightforward, had better SAML integration, and allowed our team to be on the VPN and on our network in seconds. We had some issues getting Nord to work for our use cases, and have run into pretty much zero issues with OpenVPN.
