Folk, I've installed openvpn on two systems and tried some configurations including Example 2 from the man page. Seems that firewalls block successfully (sarcasm). Nevertheless, http, ssh, ftp and a few other protocols work.
Is there any chance of using one of the open ports for the tunnel between the two machines? For example, can the tunnel between 10.4.0.1 and 10.4.0.2 use port 22 while ssh uses it for other connections? Can a proxy server solve this? Is there any other way to connect the tunnel in spite of the firewalls? Thanks, ... Peter E. http://carnot.pathology.ubc.ca/
