Install/Configure OpenVPN2008/09/08 |

Install OpenVPN to Configure Virtual Private Network.
This example shows to configure on the environment like follows.
( use Bridge mode ) ( [172.16.2.1] is actually for private IP addtess, though, replace it to your global IP address. )
(1) VPN server
[172.16.2.1] - Global IP address [10.0.0.50] - eth0 ( real IP address ) [10.0.0.60] - br0 - set new as a Bridge (2) VPN Client(Windows) [192.168.0.244] - real IP address [10.0.0.??] - automatically set from VPN Serve
By the way, it's neccesary to set some settings on your router for NAT/Port forwarding.
The used protocol and listening port by default on VPN server is UDP/1194.
Speaking on an example on here, requests to 1194 with UDP from internet is needed to forward to 10.0.0.60:1194 in LAN.
