OpenVPN : Install2015/03/31

 
Install OpenVPN to Configure Virtual Private Network.
This example is based on the environment like follows.
Configure OpenVPN with bridge mode, br0 and tap0 on the OpenVPN server is generated automatically by the service, IP address of tap0 on the Clients is assigned by OpenVPN server. Clients can access to any computer on the same local network after connecting with VPN.
Before configuration, it's necessarry to configure IP Masquerading on the gateway router.
For the case of example below, connections to x.x.x.x:1194 are forwarded to 192.168.0.30:1194.

You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
