<div>Users find it easy enough to plug in an ethernet cable and the USB plug to something for power. The device boots, runs the OpenVPN init script and authenticates with a certificate to the OVPN appliance.</div><div>I can then log into the Pi via the appliance and have local access as if I had a terminal onsite. Great for testing / proving network issues from a client's perspective from the other side of the country.</div>
