RE: [opensuse] using vtund in Suse
Has anyone on this list had any experience setting up vtund (for tunneling) on their Suse system(s)? I am trying to find a simple conf file, server & client, to use as an example.
I used vtund back in 2001-2002 but have since switched all vtund installations to openvpn, which is a superior tool, and unlike vtundm is actively maintained. Is there any reason you don't want to use openvpn? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well, no, I have no reason to not use openvpn. One thing I like about vtund is that it establishes a persistent tunnel upon boot-up, without dropping its connection, but I imagine that openvpn can do that as well. I'll read up on it and create a persistent tunnel. Thanks, ~James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I've been using OpenVPN for a couple of years and it works great. I even use it to connect my work (Windows) computer to my home system. One time I tried an experiement. I was using WiFi and was able to switch to different access points, without breaking the VPN. It just kept on working. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I've been using openvpn for a couple of years - I think the tunnels are persistent by default. If they were being brought up and down on demand, I think you'd have routing problems in the end. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

And, while all the openvpn config, gotcha information is still fresh in your mind, if you could, please drop a quick howto/cheat sheet to the list. I'm interested and I have no problem soliciting mental horsepower where I can ;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
