Rohn WoodHow to configure OpenVPN
29 / January / 2006 by Riley
OpenVPN is a tried and true VPN solution. It is totally secure and infinitely configurable. You can install and run this software without relying on a third party. The fact that it’s open source and free really makes it stand out though. OpenVPN can be a little daunting to configure the first time you jump into it, but once you get your configuration worked out, it’s a pleasure to use. Once you have the software running on your network, it’s possible to seamlessly perform a great number of tasks. One of the most popular and practical uses for OpenVPN is to enable secure surfing and home network access when out travelling or on an open wifi access point. It can also be used to connect separate remote networks together into one large network that is fully routable. There’s really no limit to what you can do with OpenVPN.
For the purposes of this article I am going to demonstrate how to set up OpenVPN on a typical home network. The below configuration will give your client PCs a secure internet access anywhere, as well as full access to your home network. The info contained in this tutorial will be aimed at Windows users with a router that has capabilities similiar to the Linksys WRT54G.-
First, download the install file from http://openvpn.se/download.html (openvpn-2.0.5-gui-1.0.3-install.exe). This is the GUI version of OpenVPN. It’s basically good ole OpenVPN with a minimal graphic interface that is accessible from the system tray.
