Hi there
I've looked around for a simple and secure VPN-server and I think I've found the
right one. Here's the deal:
I have a LAN at home which I want to able to access from my laptop when I'm
away. Sounds like the normal, simple scenario. I have a debian-box acting router
at home (eth1 connected to internet (dhcp) and eth0 to the LAN)
__
LAN <-> eth0 | | eth1 <-> internet
10.0.17.x 10.0.17.1 |__| dhcp
The laptop is mostly behind a D-Link router. After reading pages of texts I've
think that Ethernet bridging is the go for me, mainly because I need access to
samba on the server aswell as shares on other computers on the LAN (is bridging
best for me?). Struggled a bit to make the bidging kernel module to work, and
tried to follow the guide at:
http://openvpn.sourceforge.net/bridge.html
But some things just confuses me
'/usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 eth1'
should it be eth0 or eth1 for me? When I try either of them that NIC just dies.
Is that supposed to happen? How should I access the servver from the lan then?
Seems weird, I'm really confused right now I know that there "write a guide for
me"-messages are annoying, but I don't know what to do! What are the tapX and
brX interfaces? When a user is connected does he seem to be coming from tapX?
I guess the server config would look something like this?
port 5000
proto tcp-server
dev tap
ifconfig ?? which IP should I write here? 10.0.17.1 255.255.255.0 ?
secret key.txt
comp-lzo
verb 4
mute 10
If I want the user to get IP from DHCPd, should I just comment out the
"ifconfig" ? Saw that nice how-to on how to get dhcp work, but nothing about the
client config?
Thanks in advance!
