## What it is
Pritunl is a distributed enterprise VPN server built on the OpenVPN protocol (with WireGuard support), managed through a web interface and REST API. It supports multi-server clustering, SSO integration, and per-user access controls backed by MongoDB.

## Use cases
- self-host a vpn server for a company
- set up openvpn with a web management interface
- provide remote access vpn for employees
- run a distributed multi-region vpn cluster
- vpn with single sign-on authentication
- manage vpn users and organizations via rest api

## When to choose
- you need a self-hosted enterprise VPN with a web UI and multi-server scaling
- you want OpenVPN/WireGuard with SSO (Google, Entra ID) and per-user routing controls
- you need centralized user, organization, and host management via API

## When to avoid
- you only need a simple single-user VPN without a management layer
- you require a fully permissively-licensed product (AGPL, some features commercial)
- you cannot run MongoDB and Linux server infrastructure
