I use a Ubuntu Linux machine where I work (at a school). At home I use
an XP machine (because of Photoshop!) behind a Bering Leaf uClibc box.
I'd like to access my home machine from work and from what I can deduce,
Openvpn seems the way to go.
I'm initially working on my Leaf box and am finding the docs with
regards to keys/certificates rather opaque. It doesn't help that the
'Chapter 8. Configuring openvpn' and the 'Package Help Text' in
easyrsa.lrp differ in some respects - maybe minor, I can't tell.
What exactly is your problem? There may be a package or Version issue.
Nevertheless, you should not normally use your router for your CA, but
rather something which is not connected to the net at all. I always
suggest to use RoCA which boots from a CD and uses a memory stick for CA
storage, but there are other programs around. Most use one or the other
form of openssl for certificate creation.
I guess my setup it pretty basic, and maybe it will be made simpler that
I can copy any files/keys/certificates/whatever on a usb memory stick,
to transport between the 2 machines.
You did not mention if you want to use your PC as the VPN endpoint or
your bering box to do a net-to-net VPN. You did not mention neither if
there are other VPN users. What topology do you want to deploy?
I found the OpenVPN documentation pretty complete and the examples
worked well.
cheers
