I found the whole site rather muddled, and far too full of self-praise about openvpn. The OpenVPN Quickstart starts with a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of a Static Key without ever explaining what a Static Key is. The OpenVPN 2.0 HOWTO starts with a discussion "whether to use a routed or bridged VPN", again with no explanation of what the difference is. A Fedora OpenVPN HOWTO would be very useful, I think. I suggested to Miles Brennan that a chapter on openvpn would make a good addition to his Linux Home Server HOWTO. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
