this first is for a routed tunnel


here are another for a bridged tunnel (a rpm contrib):

I am currently working on a bridged one with still some limitations:

-able to work one each sme in the "local network" on win$ computer using host name
-able to access services hosted by lan computers like http,vnc on each lan from the other lan
-able to see connected computer
- NOT able to access the shared folder on a computer on the other LAN (but as i only want to works with ibays it is ok for me)

A customer needed a VPN between Denver and Las Vegas. and Openvpn seemed the best way.

I tried using SME to do a site to site, but its a lot of work since Openvpn isnt included in the Server distro.  

A routed tunnel seemed best after testing, and ideally, you want the routes automatically pushed to the users.

If you want two way communication, you need two tunnels with each server being both a client and server.

I'd recommend Endian Firewall if you want it working quickly, or for inspiration - I'd love to see something like this added to SME...

a simple tunnel is supposed to be two way communication.
