Is this type of vpn configuration possible?

Post by ghurty » Tue Sep 14, 2010 5:50 pm

Is it possible to set up a openvpn server that will allow different remote computers to connect to it via a vpn.
The remote computer wont be able to see each other, except for a main one which will be able to see all of them.


Thanks

Yes, but this can be done in a couple different ways, I have this running using a routed server configuration and unipue client certs for each individual clients.

Not sure what you mean with the statement above. Can you elaborate further?

I have a few clients that I would like to have setup that their main system will be connected to me via a vpn so that I can easily do remote support.

However, I cant have it that they see eachother as that would not be secure. However, I have to be able to access all of them.

Thanks

In that case you would need openvpn servers setup at each site.

that is not true
you can be the server, and you can firewall them from eachother easily
just do NOT use --client-to-client
