setting up openvpn on a fedora server

seabird

Hi everyone,

been trying to set-up a openvpn server to securely connect to my server when on the road. #fail

My main goal is to be able to VPN from my laptop and my iphone. Laptop should work using certificates but my non-jailbroken iphone should use only username/password. Guessing this will be my approach to all. I ditch the client certificates and just go username password.

I want to be able to use the normal user accounts of my box as users for VPN. no biggie?

my conf:

port 1194
proto tcp
dev tun
ca /etc/openvpn/ca.crt
cert /etc/openvpn/server.crt
key /etc/openvpn/2.0/keys/server.key  # This file should be kept secret
dh /etc/openvpn/dh2048.pem
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
keepalive 10 120
comp-lzo
persist-key
persist-tun
status openvpn-status.log
verb 3

non-jailbroken iphone

i dont think openvpn will work on non jailbroken iphone...

btw any server logs?

hmmm, that means it will become a deal-breaker. That is a shame. no server logs because I do not know how to set up password only verification

being abroad I attempted the laptop link. Got connected... WOOOHOOO,

now how do I get to connect my samba share through this???

easy,

go start --> run and type \\10.8.0.1 (press enter)

shares should appear if you configured samba to listen on *all* interfaces..
