OpenVPN : Configure VPN Server2018/11/22 |
|
Install OpenVPN to Configure Virtual Private Network.
This example is based on the environment like follows.
By settings of OpenVPN Server/Client, tun interface will be configured automatically and when connecting with VPN from Client to Server, Client can access to the the local network of the Server.
On this example, it needs to set IP Masquerading on Router, too.
