One more thing. I am going to need the Windows Client but I don't seem to find that at the OpenVPN site, only the full install which I assume installs the server as well as the client. Or am I missing the link to get just the client install. I would like to keep the overhead to a minimum. ________________________________ From: Chuck Swiger <cswiger@mac.com> To: Bill Tillman <btillman99@yahoo.com> Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sent: Tue, May 10, 2011 6:02:13 PM Subject: Re: OpenVPN Setup On May 10, 2011, at 2:50 PM, Bill Tillman wrote: >> OpenVPN's site provides fine documentation: >> >> http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation.html >> >>http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/miscellaneous/78-static-key-mini-howto.html >> [ ... ] > I'm working through the docs you referenced in the HOWTO and it says: > Next, initialize the PKI.

The directions assume you are running /bin/sh (or Bourne-compatible shells bash, ksh, zsh, etc). Do that, and ". ./vars" will work. Running "/bin/sh ./vars" also works, but is useless because it changes the variables in a subshell which exits once it finishes processing the ./vars file. > Make sure you have edited it to reflect your configuration. > I'm stumped as this appears to be something Linux will handle but not >FreeBSD....any suggestions? Yes, follow the directions. OpenVPN works fine on FreeBSD. Regards, -- -Chuckhelp
