What is OpenVPN?

With OpenVPN, you can:

tunnel any IP subnetwork or virtual ethernet adapter over a single UDP or TCP port,
configure a scalable, load-balanced VPN server farm using one or more machines which can handle thousands of dynamic connections from incoming VPN clients,
use all of the encryption, authentication, and certification features of the OpenSSL library to protect your private network traffic as it transits the internet,
use any cipher, key size, or HMAC digest (for datagram integrity checking) supported by the OpenSSL library,
choose between static-key based conventional encryption or certificate-based public key encryption,
use static, pre-shared keys or TLS-based dynamic key exchange,
use real-time adaptive link compression and traffic-shaping to manage link bandwidth utilization,
tunnel networks whose public endpoints are dynamic such as DHCP or dial-in clients,
tunnel networks through connection-oriented stateful firewalls without having to use explicit firewall rules,
tunnel networks over NAT,
create secure ethernet bridges using virtual tap devices, and
control OpenVPN using a GUI on Windows or Mac OS X.


Firstly you need to download this as the pet files are compiled with SSL support:

DOWNLOAD - openssl-1.0.0d-w-20110209.pet :

http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/di ... 110209.pet

I have attached 'sample' configuration files, but you should be able to create your own using the GUI.

hi, I downloaded and extracted to ~ openssl-1.0.0d-w-20110209.pet, however when I click on this to install pet i get:
What could the reason for this be??

running 529 full

Sounds like a space problem. Is there at least 75mb's or so for personal storage?

It dwnldd with a pet extension or you renamed it?

Rt-clk >> md5sum check >> a14aafc31edbb2c02ec222e8c4bf29a5

If they don't match: .. from your dwnld directory.

Good semme, that work for gadmin. Do you have any gadmin configuration file and settings (user/pass) for a workable vpn?

I don't, but these might help..

Configure Linux clients to connect to OpenVPN server

Hi,
Looks like a great tool

but when i open the client I get the error in red "OpenVPN is not installed or not in your path"

I have tried installing the openvpn-2.2.2 pet again but get the same error. What am I doing wrong please?
Thanks

those are useless because they dont provide the vpn server details - ip, username,pw.

/bin link set dev tun0 linux ip link set failed

--with-iproute-path=/bin/ip
but you have compiled as --with-iproute-path=/bin how can rectify this please anyone can help me please

You can create symbolic link for 'IP', command line:
And this sample configuration work fine for me, named vpnconf.conf for thix example: (dont forget replace SERVERNAME)
i'm not use front end, just command line
and perhaps first (not sure)

Bye.
