Great, thx! Quoting from http://library.linode.com/networking/op ... 0.04-lucid : Quote: For many private networking tasks, we urge users to consider the many capabilities of the OpenSSH package which can provide easier VPN and VPN-like services. OpenSSH is also installed and configured by default on all Linodes. Nevertheless, if your deployment requires a more traditional VPN solution like OpenVPN, this document covers the installation and configuration of the OpenVPN software. Got references to OpenSSH-based config? Alas... I can't imaging how a client machine setup works for OpenSSH architecture. Especially for "non-techie"/Windows users. With OpenVPN, the client setup is (relatively) easy. Namely OpenVPN GUI for Windows or TunnelBlick for MacOS. Thought on / references for OpenSSH-base VPN? |

Also: http://library.linode.com/networking/op ... 0.04-lucid appears to be thorough, but having hard time clearly differentiating betweem steps/procedures requires to one-time/initially setup the VPN *server*, vs procedures need to add (or remove) a new user/client (performed repeatedely over time as people are added or removed from the collaboration team). eg: there's very technical talk of "creating keys" and similar language, and it's not always clear if said key (or other artifact) creation is for server-side or client side. Thoughts, comments? |

Also: is there Linode StackScript for the above setup/config? Even seeking StackScripts who might employ OpenVPN or OpenSSH vpn building only as part of their function... and/or StackScripts that only perform part of the above procedure. |
