using netbsd

Hi, I just figured out how to setup a netbsd client. It's pretty
nominal to run through the steps, but I couldn't make sense of
some of the errors, and the netbsd doc and support is thin. This
should be easy to straighten up. The hardest part was the tap up
script.

Would someone with a commit bit be willing to work with me to
patch this up?

Tue Jan 31 21:57:05 2006 Sorry but you cannot use --dev tap and --ifconfig together on this OS because I have
not ye t been programmed to understand the appropriate ifconfig syntax to use for TAP-style devices on
this OS.  Your best alternative is to use an --up script and do the ifconfig command manually.

another error that came up was from ifconfig,
ifconfig: can't set destination address on non-point-to-point link

here's my command line:

  openvpn --up /root/ovpn/addtap0alias.sh  --ifconfig-noexec --config George_Georgalis.ovpn

here's my script

#!/bin/sh

int=$1
mtu=$2
line=$3
remote=$4
mask=$5

unnumbered IP for local PtP interfaces

Hello!

Is it possible?
Im using unnumbered IP from ethernet interface fom my pppd sessions and
want same settings for openvpn sessions. Lost at least 1 IP for every
sessons for local side is bad idea and additional security holes.
Unfortunatly openvpn support just one such session. On second it
forward all traffic for local IP (ethernet IP) to vpn peer and flood
tunnel.
ifconfig show simmilar settings for ppp and tun interfaces, but ppp
work correct with single local IP for all ppp units and openvpn no.

Sorry for pure english.

RE: Request: --crl-verify in DER format

Hi,

I would add following Jon, that to validate a CRL, the file must be
transformed into DER to analyze the ASN.1 contained in this one.
 Format PEM thus becomes useless. All CA of the market provide only DER.
this is the format by default for LCR,  it has yet only OpenSSL there to
use PEM in the LCR.

Cheers

I use the following:

if wget -q -k -O - http://xxxx/CAInfo/xxx.crl | openssl crl 
-inform DER > ${CRL}.new; then
         mv ${CRL}.new ${CRL}
fi

Intermittently lost connections - affecting IP Phones

Over the last couple of months I've had numerous reports of
intermittent loss of connectivity.  This doesn't last for more than a
few seconds, but it results in the users' dropping their IP phone
connection.  At first I started troubleshooting the Inactivity timeout
messages, but have all but eliminated those and the issue continues. 
(Aside from which I would assume that the IP phone would be sending
traffic over the VPN and therefore keep it from timing out.)

I am getting these messages:
Wed Feb 01 15:21:58 2006 clientname/71.99.3.226:1142 TLS: tls_process:
killed expiring key

Almost exactly every hour on the client side, but am not losing
connection nearly that often.

I've done some preliminary testing, and I don't see any evidence that
their internet connectivity is dropping at any point.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Packet loss, latency issues, bottlenecking, or dynamic IP
reallocation(with a new IP).  Could all potentually cause the problem.

Is the universal or anly limited to a few?

Have you checked for resource starvation on your systems?

How about bandwidth saturation, typically about 70%+ utilization,?

Why Openvpn is SSL-VPN?

Hello, all.

I don't know the difference between IPSEC and SSL based vpn well.
But many documents say like below.

IPSEC VPN is required other program installed, but SSLVPN is not required 
other SW but only needs Explorer. I use OpenVPN using OpenVPNGUI at my PC 
not Explorer.
But, documents say that "OpenVPN is SSL based VPN".
How can I understand about this??

Thanks in advance and sorry poot english.

OpenVPN through VPN is possible?

Hello, all.

I setup like below. 
OpenVPN1 and OpenVPN2 (all are linux server) is connected with OpenVPN.

PC(XP) -- OpenVPN1 -- OpenVPN1  -- Server(linux) 
                 (gateway)     (gateway)

# first question 

So all connections from PC must go pass OpenVPN1 and OpenVPN2, and it works 
well.
and I would like to connect between PC and Server too. But I can't connect.

Belows are log message at my PC.
