Introduction
The purpose of this document is to describe how to create a VPN connection between IPLOG device(s) and a server via OpenVPN.
This document describes
- OpenVPN server installation and configuration on a Debian machine
- OpenVPN client installation and configuration on an IPLOG device
- OpenVPN client installation and configuration on Windows 10 machine
OpenVPN
OpenVPN is an open-source commercial software that implements virtual private network (VPN) techniques to create secure point-to-point or site-to-site connections in routed or bridged configurations and remote access facilities. It uses a custom security protocol that utilizes SSL/TLS for key exchange. It is capable of traversing network address translators (NATs) and firewalls. It was written by James Yonan and is published under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
