Endian OpenVPN setup help.

[Shockey]

Hello, everybody. I got an endian box setup. I have enabled the firewall and the openvpn server services. I had a friend try and connect to it. The connection timed out.

i have some question as to how to fix this/get it working.

1.Do i need to foward the ports on the endian box?

2. Do i need the Certificate from the endian box?

3. If o need the certificate where do i get it from. Where i add the users?

4. What VPN client is recommended/Does it requires a certain one to connect?


Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

1. No you don't have to.

2. Yes, you need the certificate from endian, it uses it for authentication (along with user/pass). There should be a "Download CA Certificate" link on the main openvpn config page.

4. For a client, grab the latest openvpn release candidate from http://www.openvpn.net

I'd read into it a bit more though. It can be a pretty big hole to open up.

Thanks for the rpely

By big hole i guessing you mean setting it up, or security wise?
