INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Recorded sources

2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that OpenVPN is completely free to use?

Unclear. Two sources describe OpenVPN as free and open-source software, but one also notes paid proprietary Access Server features, so the evidence only partially supports the claim that it is completely free to use.
