Hi there I've looked around for a simple and secure VPN-server nad 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. 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? 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?
