jlam 1a1e916c52 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.

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.
