VPN:OpenVPN @Dec 16, 2012 11:32:56 AM

To quote from http://openvpn.net/

"OpenVPN is a full-featured SSL VPN which implements OSI layer 2 or 3 secure network extension using the industry standard SSL/TLS protocol"

I'm going to create one VPN server and allow some clients to connect to it. This might be useful if you have one server on the Internet and others that are behind various firewalls to create secure Virtual Private Networks to it.

Install on the server. Ubuntu would be like this (my server is Red Hat and I forget how I installed, because it was that long ago:

sudo apt-get -y install openvpn

Copy the easy-rsa scripts from the install directory to /etc/openvpn

sudo cp -ar /usr/share/doc/openvpn-2.0/easy-rsa /etc/openvpn
cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa
