Hello If I understand OpenVPN's "routed" mode correct, I can't use the tunnel to browse the net, use irc or run an e-mail server. I set up a routed tunnel a few days ago, and all I got was a tunnel between the two computers with local addresses (10.0.0.0-style). But I maybe have wrong? > Hi Jonathan, > > I am wondering, why do you exclude OpenVPN from the list of appropriate > solutions for your needs? > As far as I know, you do not have to use it in the "bridging mode" it can > work also as normal routing via tunnels. > Furthermore you can also use it without security. > > For the tunnels you OpenVPN uses the tun/tap devices .... > I think you can also use these without OpenVPN ... but here I am not sure, > see man pages and google .... > > And this might also be a good link regarding this topic: > http://vtun.sourceforge.net/ > They allow you to use also UDP as tunnel protocol, less overhead, and > suitable for NAT traversal :O) > > > Hopefully this helps you a little bit, > > Marc > > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: lartc-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >> [mailto:lartc-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of >> phonic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >> Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 9:38 AM >> To: Taylor, Grant >> Cc: lartc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >> Subject: Re: IP Tunneling >> >> >> > phonic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: >> >> Hello >> >> I have /25 addressed on a box (virtual devices on eth0) >> and I want to >> >> tunnel some of these addresses to my home network.
