It runs over SSL instead of IPSec, almost completely in userspace, which I find is easier to set up. The stock Fedora kernel includes the required kernel tun/tap device, so you don't need a custom kernel, nor special router support. If you can open a ssh or https connection to your VPN server, then you can get to it with OpenVPN, assuming the port is open. ISP's don't see it as "VPN". (Some forbid VPN connections.) Hi Kenneth, I have looked at OpenVPN, from what I can figure out.... with a Linux VPN server and windows xp clients you would have to install OpenVPN on the windows machine. I don't want to have to install OpenVPN on each windows machine, windows xp already has a client built in, I would like a Linux server that would work with the built in windows client, am I wrong in assuming that OpenVPN on the Linux box will not work with the XP client? TIA
