Hi all,
I'm completely new to openVPN. I've been reading about it today, and I have some questions I'm hoping to find answers to. I am refering to the 'community' open source edition if I somehow ended up in the wrong place.
What authentication methods can I use? Is it possible to authenticate with windows user accounts? (not AD, just standard local windows account) From reading the howto it seems like you have to find third party plugins to do any user/pass based authentications - but that doesn't seem right.
For the client side, if I'm going for a bridged setup so LAN games will work will the client have to connect and then bridge connections? This is not an easy process for someone without technical background.
If I go with this bridge setup, I believe all internet traffic from a client will route through my server? I have some concerns about people accidentally leaving torrent programs on and the blame being on my ISP account.
Also, what is involved in the client setup? Is it as simple as cisco is where you plugin the IP address and then authenticate? Or is the cisco anyconnect client compatible with the openVPN server?
I'm all about reading what's already out there if you can like to info about my questions - I just wasn't finding it on my own. Thanks!
