BringABox 13 January 2007

Present:

We had a great turnout, indeed Surrey members need to come along in force or we'll be swamped by the influx of Hants people! :) Lots of new faces, very welcome, some of whom had come from long distances.

Before lunch, the two main talks were both thanks to Hants members, and were videoed (http://www.hantslug.org.uk/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?TechTalks/13thJanuary2007).

Some extracts from the mailing list that need tidying up or pointing to good places that give this same info:

OpenVPN

Intro

This isn't a general howto on VPN technology, it isn't even a howto on OpenVPN. You can find those kind of things elsewhere, and hopefully the references I include contain some useful pointers to suitable sites. This is the story of a particular problem I wanted to solve. If you're trying to set up a bridged OpenVPN system perhaps this will be of use to you. Or perhaps it won't. I'm sure when I want to do this again in six months time it'll be of use to me though! :) I needed to access a remote LAN in a small office elsewhere.
