What Hacker News says

There's an FAQ in the AlgoVPN documentation that addresses this question (https://github.com/trailofbits/algo/blob/master/docs/faq.md#...): > Why aren't you using OpenVPN? > OpenVPN does not have out-of-the-box client support on any major desktop or mobile operating system. This introduces user experience issues and requires the user to update[1] and maintain[2] the software themselves. OpenVPN depends on the security of TLS[3], both the protocol[4] and its implementations[5], and we simply trust the server less due to past[6] security[7] incidents[8].
