Hi All,
Can you please help with following questions: -
1. We have successfully configured an OpenVPN server and have created
cert/key pairs for a handful of clients using OpenSSL. Now, we'd like to
establish secure and encrypted connection between OpenVPN clients and the
server. The question is - will OpenSSL cert/key pairs guarantee a secure,
encrypted connection? Do I need to be aware of additional server.config
parameters that will encrypt the data transfer between server and clients?
2. My understanding is if we do NOT use the push "redirect-gateway def1
bypass-dhcp" directive in our server.config file then clients' *general*
browsing data will not pass through OpenVPN server. Also, if I connect to
our OpenVPN server over non-secure public wifi, my transactions with
computers behind our OpenVPN server will be encrypted. How about my general
internet browsing - will that be encrypted as well? Is it then safe to
perform sensitive tasks like banking transactions over public wifi?
3. What happens if we DO use the push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp"?
Is it then safer to perform banking transactions over public wifi vs. not
using that directive?
Thanks.
