adaptive tls-server / tls-client

Post by krzee » Sat Jan 16, 2010 11:18 pm

this isnt actually my wish, im putting it here after reading a document someone was nice enough to make on our wiki...
http://www.secure-computing.net/wiki/in ... RIPRouting
I figure he was nice enough to document his findings on making a mesh openvpn network, ill be nice enough to put his wish here =]

here is a paste taken from his writeup:

After wasting time with this I realised that I needed point to point mode (--p2p which is the default). After I realised this the VPNs were set up in a matter of minutes so it is really easy to use - you just need to know how to do it.

The trick with p2p modes is that even though its called p2p - one end has to be the tls-server and the other must be the tls-client so they are not exactly the same (wishlist: can OpenVPN just switch modes if it doesnt work by itself so the two configs may be the same?).
