But I was thinking if I can setup a vpn on linux and she can install VPN SW on Windows... then I should be able to get a direct connect. She is able to ping my linux server, but that's all I know as far as connectivity goes.
Does anyone have any experience in this area?
thanks much......
You could install OpenVPN on both side (client and server) and VNC. Don't use graphical tools on Windows for OpenVPN, but copy the configuration file. Here there are : remote <your public IP> ifconfig 192.168.10.1 192.168.10.2 dev tun99 secret "/etc/openvpn/mykey.key" port 1234 dev-type tun comp-lzo keepalive 10 60 ping-timer-rem persist-tun persist-key proto udp float The only differences between server and client : * remove first line from server * swap ifconfig IPs in client and server generate PSK (Pre shared key) key on Linux side : openvpn --genkey --secret <your file> You can find Windows exe at : https://openvpn.net/index.php/download/community-downloads.html Don't forget to open firewall on both side, and to redirect your port on server side in your router. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
