Yes, this is what I’m concerned about. Most of the content/cloud people have built networks around the capacity needed to get bits into the networks and often aggressively peer. The corporate office that is behind one incumbent that now has a global set of people doing VPN activities at 10x the prior capacity of a week ago may have a harder time fitting.
What we've done, over the years, is build OpenVPN servers both in the office as well as the local data centre within the same city. This way, staff have the option of connecting to either one, whether for reasons of balancing load, managing office outages, accounting for maintenance, e.t.c. I generally connect to the one in the data centre, because then I'm avoiding our local Metro-E network to get to the office one :-). But some times, one of them won't be available, so having the option for a 2nd local one is always good. Mark.
