Has anyone tried the Open vpn How-to from Jesper Knudson

?

And how did you resolve the issue of missing dependacies ?

[root@server openvpn]# rpm -Uvh openvpn*.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libcrypto.so.4 is needed by openvpn-2.0.9-1.el4.rf.i386
        libssl.so.4 is needed by openvpn-2.0.9-1.el4.rf.i386

I've installed openvpn from the smecontribs repo

yum install --enablerepo=smecontribs

The openvpn rpm in the SME contribs repo if for a site to site tunnel and will not install the TAP adaptor.

I resolved this by installing the openvpn rpm from the DAG repository (as documented in the HOW-TO) with yum localinstall rather than using rpm -Uvh option documented.

This is a really useful addition. It provides a rock solid alternative to the sometimes flakey PPTP option built in. Wish this was part of the standard build !!

The openvpn rpm in smecontribs repo is the one from DAG. It will of course work both with tun and tap adaptators (they are not provided by openvpn but are in the kernel).

Didnt work for me. No tap adaptor, only a tun adaptor. (/dev).  Wouldnt run vpn up script and  a few more bugs also.

After nutting out the workaround, it all came up perfectly as described in Jesper Knudsen's How-to.
