Hi first greetings for openvpn which is a best of for easy VPN :)
i have a small list of questions i can't answer myself: - at which stage is the win32 port ? always looking for tun driver ? i give a glimpse to cipe driver which seems "simple unix2win" NDIS driver but 1-cannot compile (need ndis.h part of windows DDK which is not free download) 2-lot bigger compare to unix tun code (from vtun site) even if it does more 3- there is no /dev in win so what's best ? pipe i believe ? - is there any way to connect someone which is not-root ? for example, i'm at work with a desktop computer without root access (maybe even not sure to have tun/tap driver) but i have only two or three apps i need to connect to my home vpn (ssh, ftp, ...). i can modify them in order to send data not on a socket but a pipe (or anything else) which send data to a modified openvpn and send it on my home vpn. is it possible or i'm completely dreaming ? another solution is: having a list of port tunneled local (8080, 2222, ...) to local (9991, 9992, ...) (by stunnel for example) and the latter list of port i send to vpn by openvpn/nonroot (of course, we need to define for each local port the distant port AND host, but if we can change on fly, it will be ok; or maybe someone know a way for common user to forward all data address to a port to another host ?) the tun/tap driver is only required if want a complete real network interface, right ? (which is necessary if we want to work with unmodified apps) Regards PS: please cc.
