Why creating a custom kernel? The tun/tap device is included in the debian standard kernel images, so there is no need for compiling your own kernel. You can compile openvpn from sources, that should be no problem, but there are also packages for debian unstable (and testing) available. See: http://packages.debian.org/openvpn Available is the last stable version 1.5, if you want a newer openvpn that you can add: "deb http://packages.debianbase.de/binaries/openvpn ./" to your /etc/apt/sources.list. On this apt-source you can get openvpn 1.6rc4 (and always the newest version in future). If you want bleeding edge versions than try: "deb http://packages.debianbase.de/binaries/openvpn-beta ./" In this apt-repository is the latest openvpn 2 beta package (test23 in the moment). > FAQs/Docs are quite sufficient for connecting networks. The docs are quite good and openvpn is easier to setup than ipsec setups, so you should be able to make the first successfull connection very quick. You should make ssl certs for the server and for every client (from the same CA) and make a simple config for each client (every client on a own udp port) and that should it be...
