Well the device should be something like ppp0, ath0 is your wifi device. ppp is point to point so the routing table will look a little different. Run openvpn from a command line.

What I do is run a server at each end and then manually test each direction separately. I also create random binary files like so: dd if=/dev/urandom of=/path/to/somefile.bin count=20480 bs=1024 This creates a 21 Megabyte file that does not compress well. I then transfer this file over a couple of protocols. Usually I use "rsync -v - --progress --stats --rsh="ssh -c blowfish" /path/to/somefile.bin [email protected]:/destination/path" This gives me a good idea how a particular link performs in a realistic setting.

For me I still "sudo ifup eth0", I also have the syntax for wpa_supplicant burned into my head. Let me how you make out. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAklnw68ACgkQwRXgH3rKGfNomwCdGDmAQMeCqkowMu6C8582CCO5 iXYAoJOQ4dtvEXeq+zZU51aBQTo7zy1N =Car2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
