Using alternative authentication methods.Configuring client-specific rules and access policies.Expanding the scope of the VPN to include additional machines on either the client or server subnet.Configuring OpenVPN to run automatically on system startup.Starting up the VPN and testing for initial connectivity.Creating configuration files for server and clients.Setting up your own Certificate Authority (CA) and generating certificates and keys for an OpenVPN server and multiple clients.Determining whether to use a routed or bridged VPN.This document provides step-by-step instructions for configuring an OpenVPN 2.x client/server VPN, including:
OpenVPN 2.3 includes a large number of improvements, including full IPv6 support and PolarSSL support.

OpenVPN is not a web application proxy and does not operate through a web browser. OpenVPN is a full-featured SSL VPN which implements OSI layer 2 or 3 secure network extension using the industry standard SSL/TLS protocol, supports flexible client authentication methods based on certificates, smart cards, and/or username/password credentials, and allows user or group-specific access control policies using firewall rules applied to the VPN virtual interface.
