What sort of VPN? To connect back to an office? A mobile device to home network? Accessing something that's restricted to another country? If connecting to an existiing VPN, you'll need to know what type of VPN (IPSec, OpenVPN, L2TP etc.). If setting up a new one, you can choose one, depending on your needs. I used to run OpenVPN, but no longer need it since I run IPv6 on my home network and can directly access devices without a VPN. At work, I have set up IPSec VPNs and used PPTP. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hi William, In your single line, you mention three items: a) vpn b) opensuSe_13.2 c) KDE Neither of each of them has much to with the either two... Which vpn you want to connect to? My tunnel-end-point in Hong-Kong? I mean to say, vpn is a networking issue, with two sides involved. Furthermore there are very much totally different tunneling possibilities, like: ipsec, ssh-tunnels, v6-in-v4, gre, openvpn, ppp pptp, slip and so on. Many of them have excellent man-pages, how-to's and example configurations, that are distribution agnostic. Those for ipsec: google for strongswan, these work out of the box. Same i can vouch for openvpn. Biggest hurdle is to match what you want, with the technical capabilities of any tunneling-product. hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

We make four or five out of town trips a year. It always seems like it would be nice to have access to something back home on our desktops when we are in the hotel on our laptops. Not a deal killer, just a minor irritation. Then someone told us about TeamViewer. It works with both Windows and Linux [ not sure about Mac ]. Haven't tried it with my Android tablet but there are posts that say it doesn't work very well. It was dead simple to set up and operate. My first out of the house test was from a Windows netbook to my Linux desktop back home and checked my e-mail. It's not near as fast as sitting at my desk at home but it worked flawlessly. We will be out of town for a couple days next month so will see what happens. -- “Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century.” - Joan Rivers _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
