The desired setup requirements
I want users to be able to access my network remotely as if they were locally. Also, I want client side configuration steps kept to a minimum. Specifically, I want clients to use the "alternative OpenVPN authentication method". Also, I want clients to be able to see all machines on the server's side (this last bit was what cost me a LOT of time to figure out). Last but not least, I do NOT want all traffic being forwarded through the VPN.
My setup
- The following was tested on OpenVPN 2.1 but may work for other version
- I have a standard router that acts as my gateway, located at 192.168.8.1
- My OpenVPN server has one NIC on eth1 and its ip address is 192.168.8.141
- My router is setup to assign ip addresses upon requests via dhcp but my servers have static ips.
