IPsec vs. OpenVPN — what are the differences?

Quick answer: IPsec is a suite of secure network protocols that are based on open IETF standards and OpenVPN is an open-source protocol that is used by an application with the same name. In other words, IPSec is a framework but OpenVPN is an end-user solution. It doesn’t follow that OpenVPN is worse than IPsec. If OpenVPN as a solution fulfills your requirements it could be the best choice for you. The strength of IPsec lies in three words: open IETF standards. By meeting these standards, two different implementations from different vendors can successfully operate together in the most secure way without having a single common line of code.
