Open VPN |
Top Previous Next |
OpenVPN is used to connect remote computers to a network by an encrypted connection (as PPTP or L2TP/IPSec). The users authenticate by using certificates which can be revoked at the certificates section at the web interface. Client software is available for free for different platforms (e.g. http://www.openvpn.net/index.php/downloads.html - OpenVPN 2.1_rc7 (URL tested on 2008-06-26)).
Gibraltar is only authenticating by certificates because there are some advantages against pre-shared keys like revoking the certificate.
To run OpenVPN at clients without administration permissions you must do some adaptioins as described here.
If your clients run Microsoft Windows Vista you must turn off the UAC (User Account Control) to use OpenVPN without any troubles.
