Hi All,
I have installed and plaid with OpenVPN AS. Is it me or is it less functional than just installing the OpenVPN server package?
So many references to documentation on the OpenVPN web site say "in the directory here /blah/blah/" but that directory doesn't exist, or "just edit this file blah.cfg" but that file doesn't exist. There seems to be fewer options IMO compared to what I can see in the help documentation, is this correct?
If I want all the functionality should I be using a fresh install of the OpenVPN server package and not Access Server?

hi there,
Openvpn AS (access server) is a commercial product.
community version is free.
AFAIK there is no openvpn server package...
there is one installation program which contains the openvpn binary,
if the binary will be used as service -or- as client it depends on how
you configured it via its cfg file...
I cant help you with AS version ,because i never used it.
ps:AFAIK the AS version has tools to create and deploy keys,in community edition you must do these by hand.

I'm looking for the same folders as the OP for this. Not seeing any of them. I'm using the AS version as well, and none of these folders exist.

OpenVPN AS is more for users who down't whant to play with tweaks, and whant to deploy a commercial VPN service.
OpenVPN is more advanced in configurations.

So is there no way to create the CA Certs in AS?
Mimiko
No, web GUI does not have this feature. And realy it is not really neaded to generate certificates from webGUI. It can be generated by other means and used.

I do want to use all the option available to me in OpenVPN, should I ditch OpenVPN AS in favour of OpenVPN running in daemon mode?
Mimiko
It's your choose.
