[ANNOUNCE] easy to use site-to-site VPN contrib
« on: November 02, 2010, 11:14:38 AM »
Hi everyone.

I'd just like to announce a new contrib which adds an easy to configure site-to-site VPN solution on SME Server. This contrib is called smeserver-openvpn-s2s, and, as the name suggests, is based on OpenVPN. It lets you connects several SME Servers, and their local networks, just as if they were directly connected.

Everything can be configured with a panel in the server-manager, so most of the time, you won't have to do any custom configuration by hands.

You can find more information about this contrib on the wiki: http://wiki.contribs.org/OpenVPN_SiteToSite

Regards, Daniel

As soon as it is imported into SME Contribs CVS it should be available in Pootle for translation AFAICT.

Daniël, are you planning on having your SRPM imported into SME Contribs?

My guess is Shad is a little busy, not sure if a reminder is required.

I know I am following your work... you have created a lot of good stuff, the nasty side effect is the lots of verification that needs to be done. :-)

Yes, it's possible. We use both contribs on several servers. You just need to use different ports for the different s2s servers (the bridge contrib uses UDP port 1194).
