Pros: this product is a solid vpn endpoint solution, for thoes with the understanding of networking and network addressing. also a good isp that doesn't change your ip address very often is a Big plus! to do this i set the vpn with the strongest security settings available and set one end of the tunnel to allow any ip address that way you only have to mannage the tunnel from one end. IMPORTANT NOTE: use a good complex passphrase not a dictionary word! i have had a few connecting various networks for about three years and have had no troubles at all! if you need to connect to remote lans like i do to maintain computers its the way to go.

Cons: the only downsides i could see with this product is the quality of your internet provider. if you ip doesn't change often and you have a decent upstream speed 300kbps or greater you will be fine

Overall Review: don't even think about it if you have a satellite internet connection, the latency times up to the "bird" and back to the ground station will no allow a connection.
