A few issues I have with these NoVPN products:

* They are entirely proprietary or are proprietary extensions on top of open source software

* The clients are mostly proprietary and the distribution channels are limited. I'm guessing no .DMG is offered for macOS due to Apple's insane restrictions on OS-integrated VPN clients.

* There is usually a hard dependency on the provider for the connection, negotiation, or key exchange with no uptime guarantees.

* Pricing is not competitive with the alternatives including proprietary offerings from the big clouds.

* They all cite "Google BeyondCorp" without an understanding of what it is. Hardly do any of these products offer anything to do with inventory, device health checks, or MDM.
