| Post subject: | [OT] Lightweight Alternative to OpenVPN |
I was wondering if anyone knew of an alternative for OpenVPN for house <-> linode traffic. I've tried several times to install OpenVPN on my WRT54Gv1 (flashed with OpenWRT 7.09) and always run out of space installing OpenSSL. Any recommendations? |

Stunnel maybe? (Don't know if it's actually smaller...but it's definitely harder to setup.) What I do is run OpenVPN on an internal host, not my router. It means extra routing setup if you want more than just that particular host to access the tunnel. |

In the past I've run it on an internal box, but I'm trying to cut down on the number of machines I leave on all the time while I'm not home. I'll look at stunnel (read: see if it will install with out ballooning out to the entire size of the flash :/) |

I found that PPTP with dd-wrt (on WRT54G) to the linode (pptpd) works nicely. It's easy to configure and small. Downside is the poor tunnel encryption, so I wouldn't suggest you use it for security reasons. dd-wrt has built-in support for pptp and you can easily create the right routes and filters based on the ppp connection. I imagine openWRT would be similar. |
