Mac Forum / General / Networking / May 2005openvpn in Tiger
I'm considering installing openvpn, but from what I gather from various random web sites, this requires a third-party kernel extension for the 'tun' and/or 'tap' devices that isn't yet available for Tiger. Is that correct? There's surprisingly little information in the comp.sys.mac.* archives on running openvpn in osx -- only two very brief references, both in passing. Not really the answer that you're looking for, but why are you wanting to run openvpn rather than the PPTP or L2TP IPSec implementations that come with OS X? > Not really the answer that you're looking for, but why are you wanting > to run openvpn rather than the PPTP or L2TP IPSec implementations that > come with OS X? If I can use the built-in vpn support to connect to an openvpn server, I'm happy to do so. Can I? That would simplify my life. I was under the impression that this combination wouldn't work. * D P Schreber <schreberdp@rayban.net>, 2005-05-07 21:08 +0200: > I'm considering installing openvpn, but from what I gather from various > random web sites, this requires a third-party kernel extension for the [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > on running openvpn in osx -- only two very brief references, both in > passing. Don't think it works yet, but Mattias Nissler is working on it: <http://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~nissler/tuntap/> -Andre * Andre Berger <andre.berger@web.de>, 2005-05-09 11:16 +0200: > * D P Schreber <schreberdp@rayban.net>, 2005-05-07 21:08 +0200: > > I'm considering installing openvpn, but from what I gather from various [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > <http://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~nissler/tuntap/> The driver is available now, <http://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~nissler/tuntap/tuntap_tiger.tar.gz> -Andre > The driver is available now, > > <http://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~nissler/tuntap/tuntap_tiger.tar.gz> The tun device support works fine with openvpn, server and client side both (both ends are running Tiger). If anyone wants more details on how to get this going, ask and I'll post my configuration. Time to give this guy a donation :) |
