Been running it for years now and it is quite reliable. It uses: cipher AES-256-CBC comp-lzo It is installed via apt and its current version is: openvpn --version OpenVPN 2.4.7 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [EPOLL] [PKCS11] [MH/PKTINFO] [AEAD] built on Feb 19 2019 I used it to check the remote router's VPN client, in preparation for setting this all up. The ASUS router connects very well using an OVPN file created for this server and the devices on the client LAN are able to connect to other devices on the server LAN just fine. So if I could use that server to also handle the reverse traffic I would not have to mess with the ASUS router's OpenVPN setup. Setting up a client-config-dir system is not a big deal either if needed. The only thing is that since the ASUS router is the gateway on my home LAN (the server LAN) all devices use it as the gateway and this means that I have to somehow add a route from the gateway towards the OpenVPN server for addresses in the remote LAN so it becomes the gateway for those. If that is done then probably the whole thing would work. Have to figure out how to do this, but probably OT here. Thanks again! Much appreciated. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users
