OpenVPN is a robust and highly flexible tunneling application
that uses all of the encryption, authentication, and certification
features of the OpenSSL library to securely tunnel IP networks over
a single TCP/UDP port.
Update net/openvpn to version 2.0.1. Major changes from version 1.6.0 include: Adding a highly scalable server for handling multiple TCP/UDP clients over point-to-point TUN interfaces, all using a single port number. The server has been designed so that it can run with reduced privilege. On the client side, "pull" has been added, which basically says "accept certain config file options which the server pushes back to you." The major win of the push/pull capability is that the same client configuration file can be used on each client provided each client has its own set of SSL/TLS keys which have been signed by the master CA. A management interface has been developed which can be used to remotely control or centrally manage an OpenVPN daemon. "remote" can now specify a set of machines, or a hostname can be configured with multiple addresses in DNS. A server will be randomly chosen from the list, and if the connect fails, another will be tried (see the "remote-random" option) A package for easy RSA key management (easy-rsa-2.0rc1) has been included to aid in generating SSL keys and certificates for use with OpenVPN. 2005-08-17 21:55:57 +02:00			`OpenVPN is a robust and highly flexible tunneling application`
