OpenVPN is great for anyone who needs to access internal company resources while away from the office. For us, it's useful for our office staff if they need to work from home for a day or are at a work conference. I can see where it would not be helpful if you didn't store much on your intranet, but we do, so it's very helpful.

Proton
ProtonVPN is 100% suited while we are concerned about our privacy and speed while using a VPN. But if you want a great ping and want to stream games or do online multiplayer gaming, it is not so much suited because of the crown on all of its servers and their high pings.

Usability
OpenVPN
We've never had any issues with usability. The UI is very intuitive, and our general user base (which is not very tech-savvy) can use OpenVPN with two clicks since we have SAML set up. It's the easiest thing ever for them, and I don't know how we'd even begin to improve on it.

Proton VPN allows free users to enjoy and protect their privacy on the internet without compromising safety and security. they have a no-logs policy and they do not store the data of users. Thus they stand out from most of the VPNs out there. Also, the proton VPN has great speed on its free servers which are not offered by any other VPN I have seen so far. that's definitely a plus point.
