ok i am able to access my server now, but openvpn doesn't seem to work. i have added some lines to rc.conf to start it, and i have created a /usr/local/etc/openvpn directory and indicated its existence in rc.conf.
i have generated my client.conf file, and i'm using the same crt files i use on my windows clients. i have generated the other key/crt files for this computer using pkitool on the server. so i think my stuff in /usr/local/etc/openvpn is ok. and i also have a startup file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openvpn.sh
so i think it should start up, but nothing happens. i tail /var/log/messags but there is no info. ifconfig doesn't show any tun device either (like it does on the linux server).
i am using tun device, which i think is already in my stock freebsd kernel.
i think it must be something small i'm missing. what do i need to provide you guys to figure out what's wrong?
just to be clear, i am only trying to use this machine as a client.
thanks for your help,
harry

thanks everybody. i will set this up tomorrow and let you know how it goes. i can't ssh to the machine from home, which is why i'm using openvpn. i've been using it for about a year now to give clients ms exchange access and i have to say openvpn is solid as a rock! using it for remote access to clients behind a firewall is really really convenient.
cheers,
harry

if u have installed ports-tree u should install from ports. its better
then compile the source manually under bsd... but check the version... i
think u should use openvpn 2.0
