What are the differences between OpenVPN and IPsec Tunnel?

EMnify offers different types of VPN:

- The OpenVPN should be used to remotely access devices using EMnify SIM cards from any computer. We have guides to do so for Windows, Linux and MacOS.

- IPSec can be used to create a direct connection between an application server and devices connected to the Internet using EMnify SIM cards. With an IPSec, all traffic to and from the devices to and from the application server will go through the tunnel, be encrypted and secured without using the public Internet. It enables the devices to directly access the application within the same network. With the Cloud-Connect feature, EMnify offers quick IPSec configuration. For AWS users, they can use the Transit Gateway feature and keep all traffic within AWS:
