Last week we asked you to share your favorite VPN tool, then we rounded up the top five contenders for a vote. Now we're back with the results.Leading the pack was OpenVPN with 29% of the vote, followed closely by LogMeIn Hamachi (28%). Both are notable for being free although only OpenVPN is open source. In third place, the built-in Windows VPN software grabbed 19% of the vote, followed by Cisco VPN with 13% and Shrew Soft rounding out the Hive Five with 4%.
Check out the full Hive Five for additional information about VPNs and contenders. As always, if you have a great idea for a Hive Five shoot us an email at tips@lifehacker.com with "Hive Five" in the subject line.
