openvpn

OpenVPN client and daemon binary.

• Connect to server using a config file:

sudo openvpn {path/to/client.conf}

• Try to set up an insecure peer-to-peer tunnel on bob.example.com host:

sudo openvpn --remote {alice.example.com} --dev {tun1} --ifconfig {10.4.0.1} {10.4.0.2}

• Connect to the awaiting bob.example.com host without encryption:

sudo openvpn --remote {bob.example.com} --dev {tun1} --ifconfig {10.4.0.2} {10.4.0.1}

• Create a cryptographic key and save it to file:

openvpn --genkey --secret {path/to/key}

• Try to set up a peer-to-peer tunnel on bob.example.com host with a static key:

sudo openvpn --remote {alice.example.com} --dev {tun1} --ifconfig {10.4.0.1} {10.4.0.2} --secret {path/to/key}

• Connect to the awaiting bob.example.com host with the same static key as on bob.example.com:

sudo openvpn --remote {bob.example.com} --dev {tun1} --ifconfig {10.4.0.2} {10.4.0.1} --secret {path/to/key}
