i am new to openvpn and have a few questions...
1. windows or linux... does the windows product have a easy to learn GUI? and if so, is it worth it? or should i just go with a vmware appliance (i have a vm setup already) and learn the linux CLI as it's more reliable and powerful?
2. client - is there a big download that my end users need to install on their computers (mac or pc)? can i customize the installer so it's already pre-configured for my server settings and they just enter a username/pw?
or is there a browser-based way to login without installing any client (maybe just a java or browser plugin)?
3. monitoring - any way i can monitor (with external software, if needed) how much bandwidth each user account uses in a time period? i have external monitoring software like PRTG which is great, but it works on an IP level.
4. bridging - i think this is the mode i want, as the goal is to have all internet traffic funnel through the VPN. correct?
that's all for now, i think. thanks!
