OK wow this project rules I'm gonna test this on my
works network if my other engineers agree and we
implement it expect to be rewarded :-) I'll probably
just donate anyways. I work as a sysadmin and a
consultant and this would be a hell of a product to
sell. :-)
Ok my final setting are as follows
my /etc/openvpn/server.conf looks as follows
#/etc/openvpn/server.conf
tls-server
daemon
port 1194
proto udp
dev tap0
ca /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/ca.crt
cert /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/server.crt
key /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/server.key
dh /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/dh1024.pem
keepalive 10 120
comp-lzo
user nobody
group nobody
persist-key
persist-tun
status /var/log/openvpn-status.log
log /var/log/openvpn.log
verb 4
#/etc/openvpn/server.conf
then to start it I do the following
openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/server.conf
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 tap0
brctl addif br0 eth0
ifconfig tap0 promisc up 0.0.0.0
ifconfig eth0 promisc up 0.0.0.0
dhclient br0
then I can start my client
My server has a fixed address also of 192.168.168.1
here is how my client looks
#c:\\progra~1\\openvpn\\config\client.ovpn
client
dev tap
proto udp
remote 192.168.168.1 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca c:\\progra~1\\openvpn\\easy-rsa\\keys\\ca.crt
cert
c:\\progra~1\\openvpn\\easy-rsa\\keys\\jeffs-vmware-xp.crt
key
c:\\progra~1\\openvpn\\easy-rsa\\keys\\jeffs-vmware-xp.key
comp-lzo
verb 4
#c:\\progra~1\\openvpn\\config\client.ovpn
and I start it via the openvpn gui in the task tray
So this allows my virtual machine to be on the same
network as my real machine with a dhcp address on my
real machine and on my virtual machine.
I only did this because vmwares ethernet bridge was
broken but like I said I will try implementing it at
work. I am one of 2 sysadmins and I'm sure my couter
part will like it. It also must be pushed past are
bosses :-)
What I like most is it works on linux and windows.
