Re: [Openvpn-users] OpenVPN on embedded device

[Doug Lytle <support@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The m0n0wall project is betaing a openvpn server on a embedded PC.  Quote:

"m0n0wall is a project aimed at creating a complete, embedded firewall 
software package that, when used together with an embedded PC, provides 
all the important features of commercial firewall boxes (including ease 
of use) at a fraction of the price (free software).
m0n0wall is based on a *bare-bones version of FreeBSD"

*I haven't looked at the beta yet, but plan on it since it includes OpenVPN.
