Title: Where is the "VPN client download" link?
Post by: marvosa on Thursday 27 August 2009, 09:12:03 am
According to the documentation (http://docs.endian.com/2.2/en/efw.vpn.html (http://docs.endian.com/2.2/en/efw.vpn.html)), in the VPN section on the "advanced" tab, there's supposed to be a link that says "VPN client download", but I don't see it.  Am I missing something?  Has anyone else seen it?  Was it moved or taken out?

I'm running Endian Firewall Community 2.2 final.

The help is also for the appliance. In community you don't have this link.

This is a nice GUI client:  http://openvpn.se/

Download the cert from your firewall and place it in \Program Files\OpenVPN\config you also need to create a config file in the same directory as follows:

File: config.ovpn

client
dev tap
proto udp
remote your.dns.name.com
#remote 1.2.3.4                               << Or you can use IP
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca your_certificate.pem                    << This is the name of the cert file you downloaded off your firewall.
auth-user-pass
comp-lzo

In fact, that OpenVPN GUI has been imported into the main project.

As of september 21st, the current client download link is:
http://www.openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/downloads.html
Version 2.1-rc19. It's stable on XP, Vista 32/64, and Win7 32/64.
http://www.openvpn.net/release/openvpn-2.1_rc19-install.exe

Run the installer, then extract your vpn config files to C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenVPN\config
(Remove the (x86) if you're on a 32bit install)

This should be two files, the .Pem generated by endian, and the .ovpn file that looks like this:

Code:
client
dev tap
proto udp
remote <external_hostname>
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca endian.pem
auth-user-pass
comp-lzo

Good luck!
