OpenVPN is an easy-to-use, robust, and highly configurable VPN (Virtual
|
|
Private Network) daemon which can be used to securely link two or more
|
|
private networks using an encrypted tunnel over the internet.
|
|
|
|
With OpenVPN, you can:
|
|
|
|
* tunnel any IP subnetwork or virtual ethernet adapter over a single UDP
|
|
or TCP port,
|
|
|
|
* create cross-platform tunnels between any of the operating systems
|
|
supported by OpenVPN including Linux, Solaris, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD,
|
|
Mac OS X, and Windows 2000/XP,
|
|
|
|
* use all of the encryption, authentication, and certification features
|
|
of the OpenSSL library to protect your private network traffic as it
|
|
transits the internet,
|
|
|
|
* use any cipher, key size, or HMAC digest (for datagram authentication)
|
|
supported by the OpenSSL library,
|
|
|
|
* choose between static-key based conventional encryption or
|
|
certificate-based public key encryption,
|
|
|
|
* use static, pre-shared keys or TLS-based dynamic key exchange,
|
|
|
|
* use real-time adaptive link compression and traffic-shaping to manage
|
|
link bandwidth utilization,
|
|
|
|
* tunnel networks whose public endpoints are dynamic such as DHCP or
|
|
dial-in clients,
|
|
|
|
* tunnel networks through connection-oriented stateful firewalls without
|
|
having to use explicit firewall rules,
|
|
|
|
* tunnel networks over NAT, and
|
|
|
|
* create secure ethernet bridges using virtual tap devices.
