Coincidentally, I'm doing a re- install of OpenVPN on a new server. FWIW, OpenVPN is not all that difficult. Most of the instructions out there just make it all seem so. Where it *can* get complicated, though, is when you're pushing a bunch of different routes across the VPN connection. You'll be able to view my OpenVPN instructions at: https://www.secure- computing.net/wiki/index.php?title=OpenVPN_Server (ignore wrapping, should all be one line). Note, as of my sending this, the document doesn't exist. It should, at least in part, within the next hour or so. HTH ----- Eric F Crist Secure Computing Networks
