Agreed. It runs over SSL instead of IPSec, almost completely in userspace, 
which I find is easier to set up. The stock Fedora kernel includes the 
required kernel tun/tap device, so you don't need a custom kernel, nor 
special router support. If you can open a ssh or https connection to your 
VPN server, then you can get to it with OpenVPN, assuming the port is open. 
ISP's don't see it as "VPN". (Some forbid VPN connections.)
