Is OpenVPN what I think it is?

One of my friend suggested me to use OpenVPN in order to browse internet as a United States user remotely, since I am from India.

Usually for what purpose does people uses OpenVPN?
What are other methods to browse internet remotely as a United States user?

I am into digital marketing, I work for clients from US and want to perform tasks as a US user while working on clients website for seo, ppc etc.

Hey mate,

VPNs can be used for a few different things, including changing your visible IP address to appear as though you're browsing from a different location. Their main use is in the corporate world for remote access to business systems.

I wouldn't use a VPN for this though.. too much effort

I'd just pick up a proxy and use that instead - much easier to switch on/off and less to go wrong

Cheers,
Michael
