Here&#x27;s an excerpt from a success story posted at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sourceforge.net&#x2F;p&#x2F;openvpn&#x2F;mailman&#x2F;message&#x2F;34991937&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sourceforge.net&#x2F;p&#x2F;openvpn&#x2F;mailman&#x2F;message&#x2F;34991937&#x2F;</a><p><i>We&#x27;ve implemented 802.1x with dynamic vlan assignment already, meaning that when a user connects either wired or wirelessly they get shunted into the appropriate segment of the network (and potentially into overlapping subnets). This ensures strong segregation based on their identity&#x2F;certificate. So we really want to plug openvpn into that and allow users a single certificate to always end up in their same segregated section of the network without having to create separate VPN subnets for them.</i><p>TLDR: These patches allow OpenVPN to be used in enterprise environments with RADIUS authentication and dynamic VLAN assignments.
