I install OpenVPN on Ubuntu 10.04 server and so far so good. Haven't tried firestarter myself. But definitely try it. Thanks. I’ve just setup OpenVPN for my internal use only.

You probably want to add the following if you use VMware:

$IPT –A INPUT –i vmnet+ –j ACCEPT
$IPT –A OUTPUT –o vmnet+ –j ACCEPT

Cheers,

For my lappy and network connection I use openvpn, network-manager, firestarter, and ipcop. Ipcop on my router at home.. It's just a old Dell stuffed full of old 3com nic cards. On that I have installed the Zarina OpenVPN add-on for Ipcop. http://home.arcor.de/u.altinkaynak/openvpn.html If you set that up then you go through their howto and you end up with a *.opvn file and a *.p12 file. That's a openvpn configuration file and a the pk12 file is a PKCS12 encrypted file designed to allow for safe delivery of certificates. OpenVPN supports those in Linux, but unfortunately I couldn't get it to work with Network-manager's openvpn support. You copy those files to /etc/openvpn (in Debian Sid and probably Ubuntu) rename *.opvn to *.conf, restart openvpn with "/etc/init.d/openvpn restart" and are prompted for the password for the file. You give it and it connects. So all of that with network-manager allows me consistant and transparent to my desktop at home irregardless of what network I happen to be connected to at the time. Pretty neat stuff, I figure. Firestarter should support OpenVPN on it’s next release.
