Hello everybody,

Well, I'm just starting to learn OpenVPN because I would like to connect
myself from home (via Inernet) to my network of my office.


The problem that I have is as follow: My office Network is linked to the
Internet via an hardware Firewall (so let say that the intranet is IP

it's not a hardware firewall, it is just an embedded system, but it is STILL
running software.



192.168.0.X and thus the firewall as 1 ethernet adapter for the intranet
(192.168.0.1) and an other with our fixed internet IP address
(193.242.45.22).
In all the documents that I read concerning OpenVPN, the Linux platform
running OpenVPN is doing firewall as well as VPN server. But as we have to
keep our hardware Firewall, is it possible to have the VPN server on the
Intranet (only with 1 ethernet adapter 192.168.0.111) ? I can open some
ports on the firewall if needed.

yes, just forward the port to the linux machine


If yes, what kind of configuration should I use ?

any particular configuration you need. There is nothing fancy in it.
