-Starting with OpenVPN 2.0-beta17, compiled plugin modules are
-supported on any *nix OS which includes libdl or on Windows.
-One or more modules may be loaded into OpenVPN using
-the --plugin directive, and each plugin module is capable of
-intercepting any of the script callbacks which OpenVPN supports:
-
-(1) up
-(2) down
-(3) route-up
-(4) ipchange
-(5) tls-verify
-(6) auth-user-pass-verify
-(7) client-connect
-(8) client-disconnect
-(9) learn-address
-
-See the openvpn-plugin.h file in the top-level directory of the
-OpenVPN source distribution for more detailed information
-on the plugin interface.
-
-Included Plugins
-----------------
-
-auth-pam -- Authenticate using PAM and a split privilege
- execution model which functions even if
- root privileges or the execution environment
- have been altered with --user/--group/--chroot.
- Tested on Linux only.
-
-down-root -- Enable the running of down scripts with root privileges
- even if --user/--group/--chroot have been used
- to drop root privileges or change the execution
- environment. Not applicable on Windows.
-
-examples -- A simple example that demonstrates a portable
- plugin, i.e. one which can be built for *nix
- or Windows from the same source.
-
-Building Plugins
-----------------
-
-cd to the top-level directory of a plugin, and use the
-"make" command to build it. The examples plugin is
-built using a build script, not a makefile.

-/**
- * @defgroup compression Data Channel Compression module
- *
- * This module offers compression of data channel packets.
- *
- * @par State structures
- * The Data Channel Compression module stores its internal state in a \c
- * lzo_compress_workspace structure. This state includes flags which
- * control the module's behavior and preallocated working memory. One
- * such structure is present for each VPN tunnel, and is stored in the \c
- * context.c2.lzo_compwork of the \c context associated with that VPN
- * tunnel.
- *
- * @par Initialization and cleanup
- * Every time a new \c lzo_compress_workspace is needed, it must be
- * initialized using the \c lzo_compress_init() function. Similarly,
- * every time a \c lzo_compress_workspace is no longer needed, it must be
- * cleaned up using the \c lzo_compress_uninit() function. These
- * functions take care of the allocation and freeing of internal working
- * memory, but not of the \c lzo_compress_workspace structures themselves.
- *
- * @par
- * Because of the one-to-one relationship between \c
- * lzo_compress_workspace structures and VPN tunnels, the above-mentioned
- * initialization and cleanup functions are called directly from the \c
- * init_instance() and \c close_instance() functions, which control the
- * initialization and cleanup of VPN tunnel instances and their associated
- * \c context structures.
- *
- * @par Packet processing functions
- * This module receives data channel packets from the \link data_control
- * Data Channel Control module\endlink and processes them according to the
- * settings of the packet's VPN tunnel. The \link data_control Data
- * Channel Control module\endlink uses the following interface functions:
- * - For packets which will be sent to a remote OpenVPN peer: \c
- * lzo_compress()
- * - For packets which have been received from a remote OpenVPN peer: \c
- * lzo_decompress()
- *
- * @par Settings that control this module's activity
- * Whether or not the Data Channel Compression module is active depends on
- * the compile-time \c ENABLE_LZO preprocessor macro and the runtime flags
- * stored in \c lzo_compress_workspace.flags of the associated VPN tunnel.
- * The latter are initialized from \c options.lzo, which gets its value
- * from the process's configuration sources, such as its configuration
- * file or command line %options.
- *
- * @par Adaptive compression
- * The compression module supports adaptive compression. If this feature
- * is enabled, the compression routines monitor their own performance and
- * turn compression on or off depending on whether it is leading to
- * significantly reduced payload size.
- *
- * @par Compression algorithms
- * This module uses the Lempel-Ziv-Oberhumer (LZO) compression algorithms.
- * These offer lossless compression and are designed for high-performance
- * decompression. This module uses the external \c lzo library's
- * implementation of the algorithms.
- *
- * @par
- * For more information on the LZO library, see:\n
- * http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/

-/**
- * @defgroup control_processor Control Channel Processor module
- *
- * This module controls the setup and maintenance of VPN tunnels and the
- * associated security parameters.
- *
- * @par This module's role
- * The Control Channel Processor module lies at the core of OpenVPN's
- * activities. It handles the setup of new VPN tunnels, the negotiation
- * of data channel security parameters, the managing of active VPN
- * tunnels, and finally the cleanup of expired VPN tunnels.
- *
- * @par State structures
- * A large amount of VPN tunnel state information must be stored within an
- * OpenVPN process. A wide variety of container structures are used by
- * this module for that purpose. Several of these structures are listed
- * below, and the function of the first three VPN tunnel state containers
- * is described in more detail later.
- * - VPN tunnel state containers:
- * - \c tls_multi, security parameter state for a single VPN tunnel.
- * Contains three instances of the \c tls_session structure.
- * - \c tls_session, security parameter state of a single session
- * within a VPN tunnel. Contains two instances of the \c key_state
- * structure.
- * - \c key_state, security parameter state of one TLS and data
- * channel %key set.
- * - Data channel security parameter containers:
- * - \c key_ctx_bi, container for two sets of OpenSSL cipher and/or
- * HMAC context (both directions). Contains two instances of the \c
- * key_ctx structure.
- * - \c key_ctx, container for one set of OpenSSL cipher and/or HMAC
- * context (one directions.
- * - Key material containers:
- * - \c key2, container for two sets of cipher and/or HMAC %key
- * material (both directions). Contains two instances of the \c key
- * structure.
- * - \c key, container for one set of cipher and/or HMAC %key material
- * (one direction).
- * - \c key_direction_state, ordering of %key material within the \c
- * key2.key array.
- * - Key method 2 random material containers:
- * - \c key_source2, container for both halves of random material used
- * for %key method 2. Contains two instances of the \c key_source
- * structure.
- * - \c key_source, container for one half of random material used for
- * %key method 2.
- *
- * @par The life of a \c tls_multi object
- * A \c tls_multi structure contains all the security parameter state
- * information related to the control and data channels of one VPN tunnel.
- * Its life cycle can be summarized as follows:
- * -# Initialization: \c tls_multi_init() and \c
- * tls_multi_init_finalize(), which are called (indirectly) from \c
- * init_instance() when initializing a new \c context structure.
- * - Initializes a \c tls_multi structure.
- * - Allocates the three \c tls_session objects contained by the \c
- * tls_multi structure, and initializes as appropriate.
- * -# Management: \c tls_multi_process() and \c tls_pre_decrypt()
- * - If a new session is initiated by the remote peer, then \c
- * tls_pre_decrypt() starts the new session negotiation in the
- * un-trusted \c tls_session.
- * - If the, as yet, un-trusted \c tls_session authenticates
- * successfully, then \c tls_multi_process() moves it so as to be
- * the active \c tls_session.
- * - If an error occurs during processing of a \c key_state object,
- * then \c tls_multi_process() cleans up and initializes the
- * associated \c tls_session object. If the error occurred in the
- * active \c key_state of the active \c tls_session and the
- * lame-duck \c key_state of that \c tls_session has not yet
- * expired, it is preserved as fallback.
- * -# Cleanup: \c tls_multi_free(), which is called (indirectly) from \c
- * close_instance() when cleaning up a \c context structure.
- * - Cleans up a \c tls_multi structure.
- * - Cleans up the three \c tls_session objects contained by the \c
- * tls_multi structure.
- *
- * @par The life of a \c tls_session object
- * A \c tls_session structure contains the state information related to an
- * active and a lame-duck \c key_state. Its life cycle can be summarized
- * as follows:
- * -# Initialization: \c tls_session_init()
- * - Initializes a \c tls_session structure.
- * - Initializes the primary \c key_state by calling \c
- * key_state_init().
- * -# Renegotiation: \c key_state_soft_reset()
- * - Cleans up the old lame-duck \c key_state by calling \c
- * key_state_free().
- * - Moves the old primary \c key_state to be the new lame-duck \c
- * key_state.
- * - Initializes a new primary \c key_state by calling \c
- * key_state_init().
- * -# Cleanup: \c tls_session_free()
- * - Cleans up a \c tls_session structure.
- * - Cleans up all \c key_state objects associated with the session by
- * calling \c key_state_free() for each.
- *
- * @par The life of a \c key_state object
- * A \c key_state structure represents one control and data channel %key
- * set. It contains an OpenSSL TLS object that encapsulates the control
- * channel, and the data channel security parameters needed by the \link
- * data_crypto Data Channel Crypto module\endlink to perform cryptographic
- * operations on data channel packets. Its life cycle can be summarized
- * as follows:
- * -# Initialization: \c key_state_init()
- * - Initializes a \c key_state structure.
- * - Creates a new OpenSSL TLS object to encapsulate this new control
- * channel session.
- * - Sets \c key_state.state to \c S_INITIAL.
- * - Allocates several internal buffers.
- * - Initializes new reliability layer structures for this key set.
- * -# Negotiation: \c tls_process()
- * - The OpenSSL TLS object negotiates a TLS session between itself
- * and the remote peer's TLS object.
- * - Key material is generated and exchanged through the TLS session
- * between OpenVPN peers.
- * - Both peers initialize their data channel cipher and HMAC key
- * contexts.
- * - On successful negotiation, the \c key_state.state will progress
- * from \c S_INITIAL to \c S_ACTIVE and \c S_NORMAL.
- * -# Active tunneling: \link data_crypto Data Channel Crypto
- * module\endlink
- * - Data channel packet to be sent to a remote OpenVPN peer:
- * - \c tls_pre_encrypt() loads the security parameters from the \c
- * key_state into a \c crypto_options structure.
- * - \c openvpn_encrypt() uses the \c crypto_options to an encrypt
- * and HMAC sign the data channel packet.
- * - Data channel packet received from a remote OpenVPN peer:
- * - \c tls_pre_decrypt() loads the security parameters from the \c
- * key_state into a \c crypto_options structure.
- * - \c openvpn_encrypt() uses the \c crypto_options to
- * authenticate and decrypt the data channel packet.
- * -# Cleanup: \c key_state_free()
- * - Cleans up a \c key_state structure together with its OpenSSL TLS
- * object, key material, internal buffers, and reliability layer
- * structures.
- *
- * @par Control functions
- * The following two functions drive the Control Channel Processor's
- * activities.
- * - \c tls_multi_process(), iterates through the \c tls_session objects
- * within a given \c tls_multi of a VPN tunnel, and calls \c
- * tls_process() for each \c tls_session which is being set up, is
- * already active, or is busy expiring.
- * - \c tls_process(), performs the Control Channel Processor module's
- * core handling of received control channel messages, and generates
- * appropriate messages to be sent.
- *
- * @par Functions which control data channel key generation
- * - Key method 1 key exchange functions:
- * - \c key_method_1_write(), generates and processes key material to
- * be sent to the remote OpenVPN peer.
- * - \c key_method_1_read(), processes key material received from the
- * remote OpenVPN peer.
- * - Key method 2 key exchange functions:
- * - \c key_method_2_write(), generates and processes key material to
- * be sent to the remote OpenVPN peer.
- * - \c key_method_2_read(), processes key material received from the
- * remote OpenVPN peer.

-/**
- * @defgroup control_tls Control Channel TLS module
- *
- * This module provides secure encapsulation of control channel messages
- * exchanged between OpenVPN peers.
- *
- * The Control Channel TLS module uses the Transport Layer Security (TLS)
- * protocol to provide an encrypted communication channel between the
- * local OpenVPN process and a remote peer. This protocol simultaneously
- * offers certificate-based authentication of the communicating parties.
- *
- * @par This module's roles
- * The Control Channel TLS module is essential for the security of any
- * OpenVPN-based system. On the one hand, it performs the security
- * operations necessary to protect control channel messages exchanged
- * between OpenVPN peers. On the other hand, before the control and data
- * channels are even setup, it controls the exchange of certificates and
- * verification of the remote's identity during negotiation of VPN
- * tunnels.
- *
- * @par
- * The former role is described below. The latter is described in the
- * documentation for the \c verify_callback() function.
- *
- * @par
- * In other words, this module takes care of the confidentiality and
- * integrity of data channel communications, and the authentication of
- * both the communicating parties and the control channel messages
- * exchanged.
- *
- * @par Initialization and cleanup
- * Because of the one-to-one relationship between control channel TLS
- * state and \c key_state structures, the initialization and cleanup of an
- * instance of the Control Channel TLS module's state happens within the
- * \c key_state_init() and \c key_state_free() functions. In other words,
- * each \c key_state object contains exactly one OpenSSL SSL-BIO object,
- * which is initialized and cleaned up together with the rest of the \c
- * key_state object.
- *
- * @par Packet processing functions
- * This object behaves somewhat like a black box with a ciphertext and a
- * plaintext I/O port. Its interaction with OpenVPN's control channel
- * during operation takes place within the \c tls_process() function of
- * the \link control_processor Control Channel Processor\endlink. The
- * following functions are available for processing packets:
- * - If ciphertext received from the remote peer is available in the \link
- * reliable Reliability Layer\endlink:
- * - Insert it into the ciphertext-side of the SSL-BIO.
- * - Use function: \c key_state_write_ciphertext()
- * - If ciphertext can be extracted from the ciphertext-side of the
- * SSL-BIO:
- * - Pass it to the \link reliable Reliability Layer\endlink for sending
- * to the remote peer.
- * - Use function: \c key_state_read_ciphertext()
- * - If plaintext can be extracted from the plaintext-side of the SSL-BIO:
- * - Pass it on to the \link control_processor Control Channel
- * Processor\endlink for local processing.
- * - Use function: \c key_state_read_plaintext()
- * - If plaintext from the \link control_processor Control Channel
- * Processor\endlink is available to be sent to the remote peer:
- * - Insert it into the plaintext-side of the SSL-BIO.
- * - Use function: \c key_state_write_plaintext() or \c
- * key_state_write_plaintext_const()
- *
- * @par Transport Layer Security protocol implementation
- * This module uses the OpenSSL library's implementation of the TLS
- * protocol in the form of an OpenSSL SSL-BIO object.
- *
- * @par
- * For more information on the OpenSSL library's BIO objects, please see:
- * - OpenSSL's generic BIO objects:
- * http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/bio.html

- *
- * The Data Channel Control module controls the processing of packets as

- * retrieves the packet in its original form as it was before entering the

- * The Data Channel Crypto Module performs cryptographic operations on

- *
- * @par Security parameters
- * This module is merely the user of a VPN tunnel's security parameters.
- * It does not perform the negotiation and setup of the security
- * parameters, nor the %key generation involved. These actions are done
- * by the \link control_processor Control Channel Processor\endlink. This

- *
- * @par Packet processing functions
- * This module receives data channel packets from the \link data_control
- * Data Channel Control module\endlink and processes them according to the
- * security parameters of the packet's VPN tunnel. The \link data_control
- * Data Channel Control module\endlink uses the following interface
- * functions:
- * - For packets which will be sent to a remote OpenVPN peer:
- * - \c tls_pre_encrypt()
- * - \c openvpn_encrypt()
- * - \c tls_post_encrypt()
- * - For packets which have been received from a remote OpenVPN peer:
- * - \c tls_pre_decrypt() (documented as part of the \link
- * external_multiplexer External Multiplexer\endlink)
- * - \c openvpn_decrypt()
- *
- * @par Settings that control this module's activity
- * Whether or not the Data Channel Crypto module is active depends on the
- * compile-time \c ENABLE_CRYPTO and \c ENABLE_SSL preprocessor macros. How it
- * processes packets received from the \link data_control Data Channel
- * Control module\endlink at runtime depends on the associated \c
- * crypto_options structure. To perform cryptographic operations, the \c
- * crypto_options.key_ctx_bi must contain the correct cipher and HMAC
- * security parameters for the direction the packet is traveling in.
- *
- * @par Crypto algorithms
- * This module uses the crypto algorithm implementations of the external
- * OpenSSL library. More precisely, it uses the OpenSSL library's \c
- * EVP_Cipher* and \c HMAC_* set of functions to perform cryptographic
- * operations on data channel packets.

-/**
- * @defgroup eventloop Main Event Loop module
- *
- * This main event loop module drives the packet processing of OpenVPN.
- *
- * OpenVPN is an event driven system. Its activities are driven by a main
- * event loop, which repeatedly waits for one of several predefined events
- * to occur, and then calls the appropriate module to handle the event.
- * The major types of network events that OpenVPN processes are:
- * - A packet can be read from the external network interface.
- * - The main event loop activates the \link external_multiplexer
- * External Multiplexer\endlink to read and process the packet.
- * - A packet can be read from the virtual tun/tap network interface.
- * - The main event loop activates the \link internal_multiplexer
- * Internal Multiplexer\endlink to read and process the packet.
- * - If a packet is ready to be sent out as a VPN tunnel packet: the
- * external network interface can be written to.
- * - The main event loop activates the \link external_multiplexer
- * External Multiplexer\endlink to send the packet.
- * - If a packet is ready to be sent to a locally reachable destination:
- * the virtual tun/tap network interface can be written to.
- * - The main event loop activates the \link internal_multiplexer
- * Internal Multiplexer\endlink to send the packet.
- *
- * Beside these external events, OpenVPN also processes other types of
- * internal events. These include scheduled events, such as resending of
- * non-acknowledged control channel messages.
- *
- * @par Main event loop implementations
- *
- * Depending on the mode in which OpenVPN is running, a different main
- * event loop function is called to drive the event processing. The
- * following implementations are available:
- * - Client mode using UDP or TCP: \c tunnel_point_to_point()
- * - Server mode using UDP: \c tunnel_server_udp_single_threaded()
- * - Server mode using TCP: \c tunnel_server_tcp()

- * @defgroup fragmentation Data Channel Fragmentation module
- *
- * The Data Channel Fragmentation module offers fragmentation of data
- * channel packets.
- *
- * @par State structures
- * The Data Channel Fragmentation module stores its internal state in a \c
- * fragment_master structure. One such structure is present for each VPN
- * tunnel, and is stored in \c context.c2.fragment of the \c context
- * associated with that VPN tunnel.
- *
- * @par
- * The \c fragment_master structure contains one \c fragment_list
- * structure \c fragment_master.incoming. This is a list of \c fragment
- * structures, each of which can store the parts of one fragmented packet
- * while it is being reassembled. The \c fragment_master structure also
- * contains one \c buffer called \c fragment_master.outgoing, in which a
- * data channel large packet to be sent to a remote OpenVPN peer can be
- * broken up into parts to be sent one by one.
- *
- * @par Initialization and cleanup
- * Every time a new \c fragment_master is needed, it must be allocated and
- * initialized by the \c fragment_init() function. Similarly, every time
- * a \c fragment_master is no longer needed, it must be cleaned up using
- * the \c fragment_free() function. These functions take care of the
- * allocation and freeing of the \c fragment_master structure itself and
- * all internal memory required for the use of that structure. Note that
- * this behavior is different from that displayed by the \link compression
- * Data Channel Compression module\endlink.
- *
- * @par
- * Because of the one-to-one relationship between \c fragment_master
- * structures and VPN tunnels, the above-mentioned initialization and
- * cleanup functions are called directly from the \c init_instance() and
- * \c close_instance() functions, which control the initialization and
- * cleanup of VPN tunnel instances and their associated \c context
- * structures.
- *
- * @par Packet processing functions
- * This module receives data channel packets from the \link data_control
- * Data Channel Control module\endlink and processes them according to the
- * settings of the packet's VPN tunnel. The \link data_control Data
- * Channel Control module\endlink uses the following interface functions:
- * - For packets which will be sent to a remote OpenVPN peer: \c
- * fragment_outgoing() \n This function inspects data channel packets as
- * they are being made ready to be sent as VPN tunnel packets to a
- * remote OpenVPN peer. If a packet's size is larger than its
- * destination VPN tunnel's maximum transmission unit (MTU), then this
- * module breaks that packet up into smaller parts, each of which is
- * smaller than or equal to the VPN tunnel's MTU. See \c
- * fragment_outgoing() for details.
- * - For packets which have been received from a remote OpenVPN peer: \c
- * fragment_incoming() \n This function inspects data channel packets
- * that have been received from a remote OpenVPN peer through a VPN
- * tunnel. It reads the fragmentation header of the packet, and
- * depending on its value performs the appropriate action. See \c
- * fragment_incoming() for details.
- *
- * @par Settings that control this module's activity
- * Whether the Data Channel Fragmentation module is active or not depends
- * on the compile-time \c ENABLE_FRAGMENT preprocessor macro and the
- * runtime flag \c options.fragment, which gets its value from the
- * process's configuration sources, such as the configuration file and
- * commandline %options.

-/**
- * @page key_generation Data channel %key generation
- *
- * This section describes how OpenVPN peers generate and exchange %key
- * material necessary for the security operations performed on data
- * channel packets.
- *
- * The %key generation and exchange process between OpenVPN client and
- * server occurs every time data channel security parameters are
- * negotiated, for example during the initial setup of a VPN tunnel or
- * when the active security parameters expire. In source code terms, this
- * is when a new key_state structure is initialized.
- *
- * @section key_generation_method Key methods
- *
- * OpenVPN supports two different ways of generating and exchanging %key
- * material between client and server. These are known as %key method 1
- * and %key method 2. %Key method 2 is the recommended method. Both are
- * explained below.
- *
- * @subsection key_generation_method_1 Key method 1
- *
- * -# Each host generates its own random material.
- * -# Each host uses its locally generated random material as %key data
- * for encrypting and signing packets sent to the remote peer.
- * -# Each host then sends its random material to the remote peer, so that
- * the remote peer can use that %key data for authenticating and
- * decrypting received packets.
- *
- * @subsection key_generation_method_2 Key method 2
- *
- * -# The client generates random material in the following amounts:
- * - Pre-master secret: 48 bytes
- * - Client's PRF seed for master secret: 32 bytes
- * - Client's PRF seed for %key expansion: 32 bytes
- * -# The client sends its share of random material to the server.
- * -# The server generates random material in the following amounts:
- * - Server's PRF seed for master secret: 32 bytes
- * - Server's PRF seed for %key expansion: 32 bytes
- * -# The server computes the %key expansion using its own and the
- * client's random material.
- * -# The server sends its share of random material to the client.
- * -# The client computes the %key expansion using its own and the
- * server's random material.
- *
- * %Key method 2 %key expansion is performed by the \c
- * generate_key_expansion() function. Please refer to its source code for
- * details of the %key expansion process.
- *
- * @subsection key_generation_random Source of random material
- *
- * OpenVPN uses the either the OpenSSL library or the PolarSSL library as its
- * source of random material.
- *
- * In OpenSSL, the \c RAND_bytes() function is called
- * to supply cryptographically strong pseudo-random data. The following links
- * contain more information on this subject:
- * - For OpenSSL's \c RAND_bytes() function:
- * http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/RAND_bytes.html
- * - For OpenSSL's pseudo-random number generating system:
- * http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/rand.html
- * - For OpenSSL's support for external crypto modules:
- * http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/engine.html
- *
- * In PolarSSL, the Havege random number generator is used. For details, see
- * the PolarSSL documentation.
- *
- * @section key_generation_exchange Key exchange:
- *
- * The %key exchange process is initiated by the OpenVPN process running
- * in client mode. After the initial three-way handshake has successfully
- * completed, the client sends its share of random material to the server,
- * after which the server responds with its part. This process is
- * depicted below:
- *
-@verbatim
- Client Client Server Server
- State Action Action State
----------- -------------------- -------------------- ----------
-
- ... waiting until three-way handshake complete ...
-S_START S_START
- key_method_?_write()
- send to server --> --> --> --> receive from client
-S_SENT_KEY key_method_?_read()
- S_GOT_KEY
- key_method_?_write()
- receive from server <-- <-- <-- <-- send to client
- key_method_?_read() S_SENT_KEY
-S_GOT_KEY
- ... waiting until control channel fully synchronized ...
-S_ACTIVE S_ACTIVE
-@endverbatim
- *
- * For more information about the client and server state values, see the
- * \link control_processor Control Channel Processor module\endlink.
- *
- * Depending on which %key method is used, the \c ? in the function names
- * of the diagram above is a \c 1 or a \c 2. For example, if %key method
- * 2 is used, that %key exchange would be started by the client calling \c
- * key_method_2_write(). These functions are called from the \link
- * control_processor Control Channel Processor module's\endlink \c
- * tls_process() function and control the %key generation and exchange
- * process as follows:
- * - %Key method 1:
- * - \c key_method_1_write(): generate random material locally, and load
- * as "sending" keys.
- * - \c key_method_1_read(): read random material received from remote
- * peer, and load as "receiving" keys.
- * - %Key method 2:
- * - \c key_method_2_write(): generate random material locally, and if
- * in server mode generate %key expansion.
- * - \c key_method_2_read(): read random material received from remote
- * peer, and if in client mode generate %key expansion.
- *
- * @subsection key_generation_encapsulation Transmission of key material
- *
- * The OpenVPN client and server communicate with each other through their
- * control channel. This means that all of the data transmitted over the
- * network, such as random material for %key generation, is encapsulated
- * in a TLS layer. For more details, see the \link control_tls Control
- * Channel TLS module\endlink documentation.

- * OpenVPN's source code using Doxygen. (See
- * http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/ for more information on Doxygen)
- *
- * The \ref mainpage_modules "Modules section" below gives an introduction

- *
- * For the purpose of describing the internal structure of OpenVPN, this

- *
- * The following modules have been defined:
- * - Driver module:

- * splitting control channel and data channel packets.
- * - The \link internal_multiplexer Internal Multiplexer\endlink: this

- * - Data channel modules:
- * - The \link data_control Data Channel Control module\endlink: this

- *
- * @subsection mainpage_modules_example Example event: receiving a packet
- *
- * OpenVPN handles many types of events during operation. These include
- * external events, such as network traffic being received, and internal
- * events, such as a %key session timing out causing renegotiation. An
- * example event, receiving a packet over the network, is described here
- * together with which modules play what roles:
- * -# The \link eventloop Main Event Loop\endlink detects that a packet
- * can be read from the external or the virtual tun/tap network
- * interface.
- * -# The \link eventloop Main Event Loop\endlink calls the \link
- * external_multiplexer External Multiplexer\endlink or \link
- * internal_multiplexer Internal Multiplexer\endlink to read and
- * process the packet.
- * -# The multiplexer module determines the type of packet and its
- * destination, and passes the packet on to the appropriate handling
- * module:
- * - A control channel packet received by the \link
- * external_multiplexer External Multiplexer\endlink is passed on
- * through the \link reliable Reliability Layer\endlink and the \link
- * control_tls Control Channel TLS module\endlink to the \link
- * control_processor Control Channel Processor\endlink.
- * - A data channel packet received by either multiplexer module is
- * passed on to the \link data_control Data Channel Control
- * module\endlink.
- * -# The packet is processed by the appropriate control channel or data
- * channel modules.
- * -# If, after processing the packet, a resulting packet is generated
- * that needs to be sent to a local or remote destination, it is given
- * to the \link external_multiplexer External Multiplexer\endlink or
- * \link internal_multiplexer Internal Multiplexer\endlink for sending.
- * -# If a packet is waiting to be sent by either multiplexer module and
- * the \link eventloop Main Event Loop\endlink detects that data can be
- * written to the associated network interface, it calls the
- * multiplexer module to send the packet.

-/**
- * @page memory_management OpenVPN's memory management strategies
- *
- * This section describes several implementation details relating to
- * OpenVPN's memory management strategies.
- *
- * During operation, the OpenVPN process performs all kinds of operations
- * on blocks of data. Receiving packets, encrypting content, prepending
- * headers, etc. To make the programmer's job easier and to decrease the
- * likelihood of memory-related bugs, OpenVPN uses its own memory %buffer
- * library and garbage collection facilities. These are described in
- * brief here.
- *
- * @section memory_management_buffer The buffer structure
- *
- * The \c buffer structure is a wrapper around a block of dynamically
- * allocated memory which keeps track of the block's capacity \c
- * buffer.capacity and location in memory \c buffer.data. This structure
- * supports efficient prepending and appending within the allocated memory
- * through the use of offset \c buffer.offset and length \c buffer.len
- * fields. See the \c buffer documentation for more details on the
- * structure itself.
- *
- * OpenVPN's %buffer library, implemented in the \c buffer.h and \c
- * buffer.c files, contains many utility functions for working with \c
- * buffer structures. These functions facilitate common operations, such
- * as allocating, freeing, reading and writing to \c buffer structures,
- * and even offer several more advanced operations, such as string
- * matching and creating sub-buffers.
- *
- * Not only do these utility functions make working with \c buffer
- * structures easy, they also perform extensive error checking. Each
- * function, where necessary, checks whether enough space is available
- * before performing its actions. This minimizes the chance of bugs
- * leading to %buffer overflows and other vulnerabilities.
- *
- * @section memory_management_frame The frame structure
- *
- * The \c frame structure keeps track of the maximum allowed packet
- * geometries of a network connection.
- *
- * It is used, for example, to determine the size of \c buffer structures
- * in which to store data channel packets. This is done by having each
- * data channel processing module register the maximum amount of extra
- * space it will need for header prepending and content expansion in the
- * \c frame structure. Once these parameters are known, \c buffer
- * structures can be allocated, based on the \c frame parameters, so that
- * they are large enough to allow efficient prepending of headers and
- * processing of content.
- *
- * @section memory_management_garbage Garbage collection
- *
- * OpenVPN has many sizable functions which perform various actions
- * depending on their %context. This makes it difficult to know in advance
- * exactly how much memory must be allocated. The garbage collection
- * facilities are used to keep track of dynamic allocations, thereby
- * allowing easy collective freeing of the allocated memory.
- *
- * The garbage collection system is implemented by the \c gc_arena and \c
- * gc_entry structures. The arena represents a garbage collecting unit,
- * and contains a linked list of entries. Each entry represents one block
- * of dynamically allocated memory.
- *
- * The garbage collection system also contains various utility functions
- * for working with the garbage collection structures. These include
- * functions for initializing new arenas, allocating memory of a given
- * size and registering the allocation in an arena, and freeing all the
- * allocated memory associated with an arena.

- * @page network_protocol OpenVPN's network protocol
- *
- * Description of packet structure in OpenVPN's network protocol.
- *
- * This document describes the structure of packets exchanged between
- * OpenVPN peers. It is based on the protocol description in the \c ssl.h
- * file.
- *
- * @section network_protocol_external Outer structure of packets exchanged between OpenVPN peers
- *
- * VPN tunnel packets are transported between OpenVPN peers using the UDP
- * or TCP protocols. Their structure is described below.
- *
- * @subsection network_protocol_external_structure External packet structure
- *
- * - packet length (16 bits, unsigned) [TCP-mode only]: always sent as
- * plain text. Since TCP is a stream protocol, this packet length
- * defines the packetization of the stream.
- * - packet opcode and key_id (8 bits) [TLS-mode only]:
- * - package message type (high 5 bits)
- * - key_id (low 3 bits): the key_id refers to an already negotiated
- * TLS session. OpenVPN seamlessly renegotiates the TLS session by
- * using a new key_id for the new session. Overlap (controlled by
- * user definable parameters) between old and new TLS sessions is
- * allowed, providing a seamless transition during tunnel operation.
- * - payload (n bytes)
- *
- * @subsection network_protocol_external_types Message types
- *
- * The type of a VPN tunnel packet is indicated by its opcode. The
- * following describes the various opcodes available.
- *
- * - Control channel messages:
- * - \c P_CONTROL_HARD_RESET_CLIENT_V1 -- %Key method 1, initial %key
- * from client, forget previous state.
- * - \c P_CONTROL_HARD_RESET_SERVER_V1 -- %Key method 1, initial %key
- * from server, forget previous state.
- * - \c P_CONTROL_HARD_RESET_CLIENT_V2 -- %Key method 2, initial %key
- * from client, forget previous state.
- * - \c P_CONTROL_HARD_RESET_SERVER_V2 -- %Key method 2, initial %key
- * from server, forget previous state.
- * - \c P_CONTROL_SOFT_RESET_V1 -- New %key, with a graceful
- * transition from old to new %key in the sense that a transition
- * window exists where both the old or new key_id can be used.
- * - \c P_CONTROL_V1 -- Control channel packet (usually TLS
- * ciphertext).
- * - \c P_ACK_V1 -- Acknowledgement for control channel packets
- * received.
- * - Data channel messages:
- * - \c P_DATA_V1 -- Data channel packet containing data channel
- * ciphertext.
- *
- * @subsection network_protocol_external_key_id Session IDs and Key IDs
- *
- * OpenVPN uses two different forms of packet identifiers:
- * - The first form is 64 bits and is used for all control channel
- * messages. This form is referred to as a \c session_id.
- * - Data channel messages on the other hand use a shortened form of 3
- * bits for efficiency reasons since the vast majority of OpenVPN
- * packets in an active tunnel will be data channel messages. This
- * form is referred to as a \c key_id.
- *
- * The control and data channels use independent packet-id sequences,
- * because the data channel is an unreliable channel while the control
- * channel is a %reliable channel. Each use their own independent HMAC
- * keys.
- *
- * @subsection network_protocol_external_reliable Control channel reliability layer
- *
- * Control channel messages (\c P_CONTROL_* and \c P_ACK_* message types)
- * are TLS ciphertext packets which have been encapsulated inside of a
- * reliability layer. The reliability layer is implemented as a
- * straightforward acknowledge and retransmit model.
- *
- * Acknowledgments of received messages can be encoded in either the
- * dedicated \c P_ACK_* record or they can be prepended to a \c
- * P_CONTROL_* message.
- *
- * See the \link reliable Reliability Layer\endlink module for a detailed
- * description.
- *
- * @section network_protocol_control Structure of control channel messages
- *
- * @subsection network_protocol_control_ciphertext Structure of ciphertext control channel messages
- *
- * Control channel packets in ciphertext form consist of the following
- * parts:
- *
- * - local \c session_id (random 64 bit value to identify TLS session).
- * - HMAC signature of entire encapsulation header for HMAC firewall
- * [only if \c --tls-auth is specified] (usually 16 or 20 bytes).
- * - packet-id for replay protection (4 or 8 bytes, includes sequence
- * number and optional \c time_t timestamp).
- * - acknowledgment packet-id array length (1 byte).
- * - acknowledgment packet-id array (if length > 0).
- * - acknowledgment remote session-id (if length > 0).
- * - packet-id of this message (4 bytes).
- * - TLS payload ciphertext (n bytes) (only for \c P_CONTROL_V1).
- *
- * Note that when \c --tls-auth is used, all message types are protected
- * with an HMAC signature, even the initial packets of the TLS handshake.
- * This makes it easy for OpenVPN to throw away bogus packets quickly,
- * without wasting resources on attempting a TLS handshake which will
- * ultimately fail.
- *
- * @subsection network_protocol_control_key_methods Control channel key methods and
- *
- * Once the TLS session has been initialized and authenticated, the TLS
- * channel is used to exchange random %key material for bidirectional
- * cipher and HMAC keys which will be used to secure data channel packets.
- * OpenVPN currently implements two %key methods. %Key method 1 directly
- * derives keys using random bits obtained from the \c RAND_bytes()
- * OpenSSL function. %Key method 2 mixes random %key material from both
- * sides of the connection using the TLS PRF mixing function. %Key method
- * 2 is the preferred method and is the default for OpenVPN 2.0.
- *
- * The @ref key_generation "Data channel key generation" related page
- * describes the %key methods in more detail.
- *
- * @subsection network_protocol_control_plaintext Structure of plaintext control channel messages
- *
- * - %Key method 1:
- * - Cipher %key length in bytes (1 byte).
- * - Cipher %key (n bytes).
- * - HMAC %key length in bytes (1 byte).
- * - HMAC %key (n bytes).
- * - %Options string (n bytes, null terminated, client/server %options
- * string should match).
- * - %Key method 2:
- * - Literal 0 (4 bytes).
- * - %Key method (1 byte).
- * - \c key_source structure (\c key_source.pre_master only defined
- * for client -> server).
- * - %Options string length, including null (2 bytes).
- * - %Options string (n bytes, null terminated, client/server %options
- * string must match).
- * - [The username/password data below is optional, record can end at
- * this point.]
- * - Username string length, including null (2 bytes).
- * - Username string (n bytes, null terminated).
- * - Password string length, including null (2 bytes).
- * - Password string (n bytes, null terminated).
- *
- * @section network_protocol_data Structure of data channel messages
- *
- * @subsection network_protocol_data_ciphertext Structure of ciphertext data channel messages
- *
- * The P_DATA_* payload represents encrypted, encapsulated tunnel packets
- * which tend to be either IP packets or Ethernet frames. This is
- * essentially the "payload" of the VPN.
- *
- * Data channel packets in ciphertext form consist of the following parts:
- * - HMAC of ciphertext IV + ciphertext (if not disabled by \c --auth
- * none).
- * - Ciphertext IV (size is cipher-dependent, if not disabled by \c
- * --no-iv).
- * - Tunnel packet ciphertext.
- *
- * @subsection network_protocol_data_plaintext Structure of plaintext data channel messages
- *
- * Data channel packets in plaintext form consist of the following parts:
- * - packet-id (4 or 8 bytes, if not disabled by --no-replay).
- * - In TLS mode, 4 bytes are used because the implementation can
- * force a TLS renegotation before \c 2^32 packets are sent.
- * - In pre-shared %key mode, 8 bytes are used (sequence number and \c
- * time_t value) to allow long-term %key usage without packet-id
- * collisions.
- * - User plaintext (n bytes).

-/**
- * @page tunnel_state Structure of the VPN tunnel state storage
- *
- * This section describes how OpenVPN stores its VPN tunnel state during
- * operation.
- *
- * OpenVPN uses several data structures as storage containers for state
- * information of active VPN tunnels. These are described in this
- * section, together with a little bit of history to help understand the
- * origin of the current architecture.
- *
- * Whether an OpenVPN process is running in client-mode or server-mode
- * determines whether it can support only one or multiple simultaneously
- * active VPN tunnels. This consequently also determines how the
- * associated state information is wrapped up internally. This section
- * gives an overview of the differences.
- *
- * @section tunnel_state_history Historic developments
- *
- * In the old v1.x series, an OpenVPN process managed only one single VPN
- * tunnel. This allowed the VPN tunnel state to be stored together with
- * process-global information in one single \c context structure.
- *
- * This changed, however, in the v2.x series, as new OpenVPN versions
- * running in server-mode can support multiple simultaneously active VPN
- * tunnels. This necessitated a redesign of the VPN tunnel state
- * container structures, and modification of the \link
- * external_multiplexer External Multiplexer\endlink and \link
- * internal_multiplexer Internal Multiplexer\endlink systems. The
- * majority of these changes are only relevant for OpenVPN processes
- * running in server-mode, and the client-mode structure has remained very
- * similar to the v1.x single-tunnel form.
- *
- * @section tunnel_state_client Client-mode state
- *
- * An OpenVPN process running in client-mode can manage at most one single
- * VPN tunnel at any one time. The state information for a client's VPN
- * tunnel is stored in a \c context structure.
- *
- * The \c context structure is created in the \c main() function. That is
- * also where process-wide initialization takes place, such as parsing
- * command line %options and reading configuration files. The \c context
- * is then passed to \c tunnel_point_to_point() which drives OpenVPN's
- * main event processing loop. These functions are both part of the \link
- * eventloop Main Event Loop\endlink module.
- *
- * @subsection tunnel_state_client_init Initialization and cleanup
- *
- * Because there is only one \c context structure present, it can be
- * initialized and cleaned up from the client's main event processing
- * function. Before the \c tunnel_point_to_point() function enters its
- * event loop, it calls \c init_instance_handle_signals() which calls \c
- * init_instance() to initialize the single \c context structure. After
- * the event loop stops, it calls \c close_instance() to clean up the \c
- * context.
- *
- * @subsection tunnel_state_client_event Event processing
- *
- * When the main event processing loop activates the external or internal
- * multiplexer to handle a network event, it is not necessary to determine
- * which VPN tunnel the event is associated with, because there is only
- * one VPN tunnel active.
- *
- * @section tunnel_state_server Server-mode state
- *
- * An OpenVPN process running in server-mode can manage multiple
- * simultaneously active VPN tunnels. For every VPN tunnel active, in
- * other words for every OpenVPN client which is connected to a server,
- * the OpenVPN server has one \c context structure in which it stores that
- * particular VPN tunnel's state information.
- *
- * @subsection tunnel_state_server_multi Multi_context and multi_instance structures
- *
- * To support multiple \c context structures, each is wrapped in a \c
- * multi_instance structure, and all the \c multi_instance structures are
- * registered in one single \c multi_context structure. The \link
- * external_multiplexer External Multiplexer\endlink and \link
- * internal_multiplexer Internal Multiplexer\endlink then use the \c
- * multi_context to retrieve the correct \c multi_instance and \c context
- * associated with a given network address.
- *
- * @subsection tunnel_state_server_init Startup and initialization
- *
- * An OpenVPN process running in server-mode starts in the same \c main()
- * function as it would in client-mode. The same process-wide
- * initialization is performed, and the resulting state and configuration
- * is stored in a \c context structure. The server-mode and client-mode
- * processes diverge when the \c main() function calls one of \c
- * tunnel_point_to_point() or \c tunnel_server().
- *
- * In server-mode, \c main() calls the \c tunnel_server() function, which
- * transfers control to \c tunnel_server_udp_single_threaded() or \c
- * tunnel_server_tcp() depending on the external transport protocol.
- *
- * These functions receive the \c context created in \c main(). This
- * object has a special status in server-mode, as it does not represent an
- * active VPN tunnel, but does contain process-wide configuration
- * parameters. In the source code, it is often stored in "top" variables.
- * To distinguish this object from other instances of the same type, its
- * \c context.mode value is set to \c CM_TOP. Other \c context objects,
- * which do represent active VPN tunnels, have a \c context.mode set to \c
- * CM_CHILD_UDP or \c CM_CHILD_TCP, depending on the external transport
- * protocol.
- *
- * Both \c tunnel_server_udp_single_threaded() and \c tunnel_server_tcp()
- * perform similar initialization. In either case, a \c multi_context
- * structure is created, and it is initialized according to the
- * configuration stored in the top \c context by the \c multi_init() and

- * @subsection tunnel_state_server_tunnels Creating and destroying VPN tunnels
- *
- * When an OpenVPN client makes a new connection to a server, the server
- * creates a new \c context and \c multi_instance. The latter is
- * registered in the \c multi_context, which makes it possible for the

- *
- * After the main event loop exits, both \c
- * tunnel_server_udp_single_threaded() and \c tunnel_server_tcp() perform
- * similar cleanup. They call \c multi_uninit() followed by \c
- * multi_top_free() to clean up the \c multi_context structure.

-OpenVPN Management Interface Notes
-----------------------------------
-
-The OpenVPN Management interface allows OpenVPN to
-be administratively controlled from an external program via
-a TCP or unix domain socket.
-
-The interface has been specifically designed for developers
-who would like to programmatically or remotely control
-an OpenVPN daemon, and can be used when OpenVPN is running
-as a client or server.
-
-The management interface is implemented using a client/server TCP
-connection or unix domain socket where OpenVPN will listen on a
-provided IP address and port for incoming management client connections.
-
-The management protocol is currently cleartext without an explicit
-security layer. For this reason, it is recommended that the
-management interface either listen on a unix domain socket,
-localhost (127.0.0.1), or on the local VPN address. It's possible
-to remotely connect to the management interface over the VPN itself,
-though some capabilities will be limited in this mode, such as the
-ability to provide private key passwords.
-
-The management interface is enabled in the OpenVPN
-configuration file using the following directive:
-
---management
-
-See the man page for documentation on this and related
-directives.
-
-Once OpenVPN has started with the management layer enabled,
-you can telnet to the management port (make sure to use
-a telnet client which understands "raw" mode).
-
-Once connected to the management port, you can use
-the "help" command to list all commands.
-
-COMMAND -- bytecount
---------------------
-
-The bytecount command is used to request real-time notification
-of OpenVPN bandwidth usage.
-
-Command syntax:
-
- bytecount n (where n > 0) -- set up automatic notification of
- bandwidth usage once every n seconds
- bytecount 0 -- turn off bytecount notifications
-
-If OpenVPN is running as a client, the bytecount notification
-will look like this:
-
- >BYTECOUNT:{BYTES_IN},{BYTES_OUT}
-
-BYTES_IN is the number of bytes that have been received from
-the server and BYTES_OUT is the number of bytes that have been
-sent to the server.
-
-If OpenVPN is running as a server, the bytecount notification
-will look like this:
-
- >BYTECOUNT_CLI:{CID},{BYTES_IN},{BYTES_OUT}
-
-CID is the Client ID, BYTES_IN is the number of bytes that have
-been received from the client and BYTES_OUT is the number of
-bytes that have been sent to the client.
-
-Note that when the bytecount command is used on the server, every
-connected client will report its bandwidth numbers once every n
-seconds.
-
-When the client disconnects, the final bandwidth numbers will be
-placed in the 'bytes_received' and 'bytes_sent' environmental variables
-as included in the >CLIENT:DISCONNECT notification.
-
-COMMAND -- echo
----------------
-
-The echo capability is used to allow GUI-specific
-parameters to be either embedded in the OpenVPN config file
-or pushed to an OpenVPN client from a server.
-
-Command examples:
-
- echo on -- turn on real-time notification of echo messages
- echo all -- print the current echo history list
- echo off -- turn off real-time notification of echo messages
- echo on all -- atomically enable real-time notification,
- plus show any messages in history buffer
-
-For example, suppose you are developing a OpenVPN GUI and
-you want to give the OpenVPN server the ability to ask
-the GUI to forget any saved passwords.
-
-In the OpenVPN server config file, add:
-
- push "echo forget-passwords"
-
-When the OpenVPN client receives its pulled list of directives
-from the server, the "echo forget-passwords" directive will
-be in the list, and it will cause the management interface
-to save the "forget-passwords" string in its list of echo
-parameters.
-
-The management client can use "echo all" to output the full
-list of echoed parameters, "echo on" to turn on real-time
-notification of echoed parameters via the ">ECHO:" prefix,
-or "echo off" to turn off real-time notification.
-
-When the GUI connects to the OpenVPN management socket, it
-can issue an "echo all" command, which would produce output
-like this:
-
- 1101519562,forget-passwords
- END
-
-Essentially the echo command allowed us to pass parameters from
-the OpenVPN server to the OpenVPN client, and then to the
-management client (such as a GUI). The large integer is the
-unix date/time when the echo parameter was received.
-
-If the management client had issued the command "echo on",
-it would have enabled real-time notifications of echo
-parameters. In this case, our "forget-passwords" message
-would be output like this:
-
- >ECHO:1101519562,forget-passwords
-
-Like the log command, the echo command can atomically show
-history while simultaneously activating real-time updates:
-
- echo on all
-
-The size of the echo buffer is currently hardcoded to 100
-messages.
-
-COMMAND -- exit, quit
----------------------
-
-Close the managment session, and resume listening on the
-management port for connections from other clients. Currently,
-the OpenVPN daemon can at most support a single management client
-any one time.
-
-COMMAND -- help
----------------
-
-Print a summary of commands.
-
-COMMAND -- hold
----------------
-
-The hold command can be used to manipulate the hold flag,
-or release OpenVPN from a hold state.
-
-If the hold flag is set on initial startup or
-restart, OpenVPN will hibernate prior to initializing
-the tunnel until the management interface receives
-a "hold release" command.
-
-The --management-hold directive of OpenVPN can be used
-to start OpenVPN with the hold flag set.
-
-The hold flag setting is persistent and will not
-be reset by restarts.
-
-OpenVPN will indicate that it is in a hold state by
-sending a real-time notification to the management
-client:
-
- >HOLD:Waiting for hold release
-
-Command examples:
-
- hold -- show current hold flag, 0=off, 1=on.
- hold on -- turn on hold flag so that future restarts
- will hold.
- hold off -- turn off hold flag so that future restarts will
- not hold.
- hold release -- leave hold state and start OpenVPN, but
- do not alter the current hold flag setting.
-
-COMMAND -- kill
----------------
-
-In server mode, kill a particlar client instance.
-
-Command examples:
-
- kill Test-Client -- kill the client instance having a
- common name of "Test-Client".
- kill 1.2.3.4:4000 -- kill the client instance having a
- source address and port of 1.2.3.4:4000
-
-Use the "status" command to see which clients are connected.
-
-COMMAND -- log
---------------
-
-Show the OpenVPN log file. Only the most recent n lines
-of the log file are cached by the management interface, where
-n is controlled by the OpenVPN --management-log-cache directive.
-
-Command examples:
-
- log on -- Enable real-time output of log messages.
- log all -- Show currently cached log file history.
- log on all -- Atomically show all currently cached log file
- history then enable real-time notification of
- new log file messages.
- log off -- Turn off real-time notification of log messages.
- log 20 -- Show the most recent 20 lines of log file history.
-
-Real-time notification format:
-
-Real-time log messages begin with the ">LOG:" prefix followed
-by the following comma-separated fields:
-
- (a) unix integer date/time,
- (b) zero or more message flags in a single string:
- I -- informational
- F -- fatal error
- N -- non-fatal error
- W -- warning
- D -- debug, and
- (c) message text.
-
-COMMAND -- mute
----------------
-
-Change the OpenVPN --mute parameter. The mute parameter is
-used to silence repeating messages of the same message
-category.
-
-Command examples:
-
- mute 40 -- change the mute parameter to 40
- mute -- show the current mute setting
-
-COMMAND -- net
---------------
-
-(Windows Only) Produce output equivalent to the OpenVPN
---show-net directive. The output includes OpenVPN's view
-of the system network adapter list and routing table based
-on information returned by the Windows IP helper API.
-
-COMMAND -- pid
---------------
-
-Shows the process ID of the current OpenVPN process.
-
-COMMAND -- password and username
---------------------------------
-
- The password command is used to pass passwords to OpenVPN.
-
- If OpenVPN is run with the --management-query-passwords
- directive, it will query the management interface for RSA
- private key passwords and the --auth-user-pass
- username/password.
-
- When OpenVPN needs a password from the management interface,
- it will produce a real-time ">PASSWORD:" message.
-
- Example 1:
-
- >PASSWORD:Need 'Private Key' password
-
- OpenVPN is indicating that it needs a password of type
- "Private Key".
-
- The management client should respond to this query as follows:
-
- password "Private Key" foo
-
- Example 2:
-
- >PASSWORD:Need 'Auth' username/password
-
- OpenVPN needs a --auth-user-pass password. The management
- client should respond:
-
- username "Auth" foo
- password "Auth" bar
-
- The username/password itself can be in quotes, and special
- characters such as double quote or backslash must be escaped,
- for example,
-
- password "Private Key" "foo\"bar"
-
- The escaping rules are the same as for the config file.
- See the "Command Parsing" section below for more info.
-
- The PASSWORD real-time message type can also be used to
- indicate password or other types of authentication failure:
-
- Example 3: The private key password is incorrect and OpenVPN
- is exiting:
-
- >PASSWORD:Verification Failed: 'Private Key'
-
- Example 4: The --auth-user-pass username/password failed,
- and OpenVPN is exiting:
-
- >PASSWORD:Verification Failed: 'Auth'
-
- Example 5: The --auth-user-pass username/password failed,
- and the server provided a custom client-reason-text string
- using the client-deny server-side management interface command.
-
- >PASSWORD:Verification Failed: 'custom server-generated string'
-
-COMMAND -- forget-passwords
----------------------------
-
-The forget-passwords command will cause the daemon to forget passwords
-entered during the session.
-
-Command example:
-
- forget-passwords -- forget passwords entered so far.
-
-COMMAND -- signal
------------------
-
-The signal command will send a signal to the OpenVPN daemon.
-The signal can be one of SIGHUP, SIGTERM, SIGUSR1, or SIGUSR2.
-
-Command example:
-
- signal SIGUSR1 -- send a SIGUSR1 signal to daemon
-
-COMMAND -- state
-----------------
-
-Show the current OpenVPN state, show state history, or
-enable real-time notification of state changes.
-
-These are the OpenVPN states:
-
-CONNECTING -- OpenVPN's initial state.
-WAIT -- (Client only) Waiting for initial response
- from server.
-AUTH -- (Client only) Authenticating with server.
-GET_CONFIG -- (Client only) Downloading configuration options
- from server.
-ASSIGN_IP -- Assigning IP address to virtual network
- interface.
-ADD_ROUTES -- Adding routes to system.
-CONNECTED -- Initialization Sequence Completed.
-RECONNECTING -- A restart has occurred.
-EXITING -- A graceful exit is in progress.
-
-Command examples:
-
- state -- Print current OpenVPN state.
- state on -- Enable real-time notification of state changes.
- state off -- Disable real-time notification of state changes.
- state all -- Print current state history.
- state 3 -- Print the 3 most recent state transitions.
- state on all -- Atomically show state history while at the
- same time enable real-time state notification
- of future state transitions.
-
-The output format consists of 4 comma-separated parameters:
- (a) the integer unix date/time,
- (b) the state name,
- (c) optional descriptive string (used mostly on RECONNECTING
- and EXITING to show the reason for the disconnect),
- (d) optional TUN/TAP local IP address (shown for ASSIGN_IP
- and CONNECTED), and
- (e) optional address of remote server (OpenVPN 2.1 or higher).
-
-Real-time state notifications will have a ">STATE:" prefix
-prepended to them.
-
-COMMAND -- status
------------------
-
-Show current daemon status information, in the same format as
-that produced by the OpenVPN --status directive.
-
-Command examples:
-
-status -- Show status information using the default status
- format version.
-
-status 3 -- Show status information using the format of
- --status-version 3.
-
-COMMAND -- username
--------------------
-
-See the "password" section above.
-
-COMMAND -- verb
----------------
-
-Change the OpenVPN --verb parameter. The verb parameter
-controls the output verbosity, and may range from 0 (no output)
-to 15 (maximum output). See the OpenVPN man page for additional
-info on verbosity levels.
-
-Command examples:
-
- verb 4 -- change the verb parameter to 4
- mute -- show the current verb setting
-
-COMMAND -- version
-------------------
-
-Show the current OpenVPN and Management Interface versions.
-
-
-COMMAND -- auth-retry
----------------------
-
-Set the --auth-retry setting to control how OpenVPN responds to
-username/password authentication errors. See the manual page
-for more info.
-
-Command examples:
-
- auth-retry interact -- Don't exit when bad username/passwords are entered.
- Query for new input and retry.
-
-COMMAND -- needok (OpenVPN 2.1 or higher)
-------------------------------------------
-
-Confirm a ">NEED-OK" real-time notification, normally used by
-OpenVPN to block while waiting for a specific user action.
-
-Example:
-
- OpenVPN needs the user to insert a cryptographic token,
- so it sends a real-time notification:
-
- >NEED-OK:Need 'token-insertion-request' confirmation MSG:Please insert your cryptographic token
-
- The management client, if it is a GUI, can flash a dialog
- box containing the text after the "MSG:" marker to the user.
- When the user acknowledges the dialog box,
- the management client can issue this command:
-
- needok token-insertion-request ok
- or
- needok token-insertion-request cancel
-
-COMMAND -- needstr (OpenVPN 2.1 or higher)
--------------------------------------------
-
-Confirm a ">NEED-STR" real-time notification, normally used by
-OpenVPN to block while waiting for a specific user input.
-
-Example:
-
- OpenVPN needs the user to specify some input, so it sends a
- real-time notification:
-
- >NEED-STR:Need 'name' input MSG:Please specify your name
-
- The management client, if it is a GUI, can flash a dialog
- box containing the text after the "MSG:" marker to the user.
- When the user acknowledges the dialog box,
- the management client can issue this command:
-
- needstr name "John"
-
-COMMAND -- pkcs11-id-count (OpenVPN 2.1 or higher)
----------------------------------------------------
-
-Retrieve available number of certificates.
-
-Example:
-
- pkcs11-id-count
- >PKCS11ID-COUNT:5
-
-COMMAND -- pkcs11-id-get (OpenVPN 2.1 or higher)
--------------------------------------------------
-
-Retrieve certificate by index, the ID string should be provided
-as PKCS#11 identity, the blob is BASE64 encoded certificate.
-
-Example:
-
- pkcs11-id-get 1
- PKCS11ID-ENTRY:'1', ID:'<snip>', BLOB:'<snip>'
-
-COMMAND -- client-auth (OpenVPN 2.1 or higher)
------------------------------------------------
-
-Authorize a ">CLIENT:CONNECT" or ">CLIENT:REAUTH" request and specify
-"client-connect" configuration directives in a subsequent text block.
-
-The OpenVPN server should have been started with the
---management-client-auth directive so that it will ask the management
-interface to approve client connections.
-
-
- client-auth {CID} {KID}
- line_1
- line_2
- ...
- line_n
- END
-
-CID,KID -- client ID and Key ID. See documentation for ">CLIENT:"
-notification for more info.
-
-line_1 to line_n -- client-connect configuration text block, as would be
-returned by a --client-connect script. The text block may be null, with
-"END" immediately following the "client-auth" line (using a null text
-block is equivalent to using the client-auth-nt command).
-
-A client-connect configuration text block contains OpenVPN directives
-that will be applied to the client instance object representing a newly
-connected client.
-
-COMMAND -- client-auth-nt (OpenVPN 2.1 or higher)
---------------------------------------------------
-
-Authorize a ">CLIENT:CONNECT" or ">CLIENT:REAUTH" request without specifying
-client-connect configuration text.
-
-The OpenVPN server should have been started with the
---management-client-auth directive so that it will ask the management
-interface to approve client connections.
-
- client-auth-nt {CID} {KID}
-
-CID,KID -- client ID and Key ID. See documentation for ">CLIENT:"
-notification for more info.
-
-COMMAND -- client-deny (OpenVPN 2.1 or higher)

-CID,KID -- client ID and Key ID. See documentation for ">CLIENT:"
-notification for more info.
-
-reason-text: a human-readable message explaining why the authentication
-request was denied. This message will be output to the OpenVPN log
-file or syslog.
-
-client-reason-text: a message that will be sent to the client as
-part of the AUTH_FAILED message.
-
-Note that client-deny denies a specific Key ID (pertaining to a
-TLS renegotiation). A client-deny command issued in response to
-an initial TLS key negotiation (notified by ">CLIENT:CONNECT") will
-terminate the client session after returning "AUTH-FAILED" to the client.
-On the other hand, a client-deny command issued in response to
-a TLS renegotiation (">CLIENT:REAUTH") will invalidate the renegotiated
-key, however the TLS session associated with the currently active
-key will continue to live for up to --tran-window seconds before
-expiration.
-
-To immediately kill a client session, use "client-kill".
-
-COMMAND -- client-kill (OpenVPN 2.1 or higher)
------------------------------------------------
-
-Immediately kill a client instance by CID.
-
- client-kill {CID}
-
-CID -- client ID. See documentation for ">CLIENT:" notification for more
-info.
-
-COMMAND -- client-pf (OpenVPN 2.1 or higher)
----------------------------------------------
-
-Push a packet filter file to a specific client.
-
-The OpenVPN server should have been started with the
---management-client-pf directive so that it will require that
-VPN tunnel packets sent or received by client instances must
-conform to that client's packet filter configuration.
-
- client-pf {CID}
- line_1
- line_2
- ...
- line_n
- END
-
-CID -- client ID. See documentation for ">CLIENT:" notification for
-more info.
-
-line_1 to line_n -- the packet filter configuration file for this
-client.
-
-Packet filter file grammar:
-
- [CLIENTS DROP|ACCEPT]
- {+|-}common_name1
- {+|-}common_name2
- . . .
- [SUBNETS DROP|ACCEPT]
- {+|-}subnet1
- {+|-}subnet2
- . . .
- [END]
-
- Subnet: IP-ADDRESS | IP-ADDRESS/NUM_NETWORK_BITS | "unknown"
-
- CLIENTS refers to the set of clients (by their common-name) which
- this instance is allowed ('+') to connect to, or is excluded ('-')
- from connecting to. Note that in the case of client-to-client
- connections, such communication must be allowed by the packet filter
- configuration files of both clients AND the --client-to-client
- directive must have been specified in the OpenVPN server config.
-
- SUBNETS refers to IP addresses or IP address subnets which this
- client instance may connect to ('+') or is excluded ('-') from
- connecting to, and applies to IPv4 and ARP packets. The special
- "unknown" tag refers to packets of unknown type, i.e. a packet that
- is not IPv4 or ARP.
-
- DROP or ACCEPT defines default policy when there is no explicit match
- for a common-name or subnet. The [END] tag must exist.
-
- Notes:
-
- * The SUBNETS section currently only supports IPv4 addresses and
- subnets.
-
- * A given client or subnet rule applies to both incoming and
- outgoing packets.
-
- * The CLIENTS list is order-invariant. Because the list is stored
- as a hash-table, the order of the list does not affect its function.
-
- * The SUBNETS table is scanned sequentially, and the first item to
- match is chosen. Therefore the SUBNETS table is NOT order-invariant.
-
- * No client-to-client communication is allowed unless the
- --client-to-client configuration directive is enabled AND
- the CLIENTS list of BOTH clients allows the communication.
-
-Example packet filter spec, as transmitted to the management interface:
-
- client-pf 42
- [CLIENTS ACCEPT]
- -accounting
- -enigma
- [SUBNETS DROP]
- -10.46.79.9
- +10.0.0.0/8
- [END]
- END
-
-The above example sets the packet filter policy for the client
-identified by CID=42. This client may connect to all other clients
-except those having a common name of "accounting" or "enigma".
-The client may only interact with external IP addresses in the
-10.0.0.0/8 subnet, however access to 10.46.79.9 is specifically
-excluded.
-
-Another example packet filter spec, as transmitted to the
-management interface:
-
- client-pf 99
- [CLIENTS DENY]
- +public
- [SUBNETS ACCEPT]
- +10.10.0.1
- -10.0.0.0/8
- -unknown
- [END]
- END
-
-The above example sets the packet filter policy for the client
-identified by CID=99. This client may not connect to any other
-clients except those having a common name of "public". It may
-interact with any external IP address except those in the
-10.0.0.0/8 netblock. However interaction with one address in
-the 10.0.0.0/8 netblock is allowed: 10.10.0.1. Also, the client
-may not interact with external IP addresses using an "unknown"
-protocol (i.e. one that is not IPv4 or ARP).
-
-COMMAND -- remote (OpenVPN AS 2.1.5/OpenVPN 2.3 or higher)
---------------------------------------------
-
-Provide remote host/port in response to a >REMOTE notification
-(client only). Requires that the --management-query-remote
-directive is used.
-
- remote ACTION [HOST PORT]
-
-The "remote" command should only be given in response to a >REMOTE
-notification. For example, the following >REMOTE notification
-indicates that the client config file would ordinarily connect
-to vpn.example.com port 1194 (UDP):
-
- >REMOTE:vpn.example.com,1194,udp
-
-Now, suppose we want to override the host and port, connecting
-instead to vpn.otherexample.com port 1234. After receiving
-the above notification, use this command:
-
- remote MOD vpn.otherexample.com 1234
-
-To accept the same host and port as the client would ordinarily
-have connected to, use this command:
-
- remote ACCEPT
-
-To skip the current connection entry and advance to the next one,
-use this command:
-
- remote SKIP
-
-COMMAND -- proxy (OpenVPN 2.3 or higher)
---------------------------------------------
-
-Provide proxy server host/port and flags in response to a >PROXY
-notification (client only). Requires that the --management-query-proxy
-directive is used.
-
- proxy TYPE HOST PORT ["nct"]
-
-The "proxy" command must only be given in response to a >PROXY
-notification. Use the "nct" flag if you only want to allow
-non-cleartext auth with the proxy server. The following >PROXY
-notification indicates that the client config file would ordinarily
-connect to the first --remote configured, vpn.example.com using TCP:
-
- >PROXY:1,TCP,vpn.example.com
-
-Now, suppose we want to connect to the remote host using the proxy server
-proxy.intranet port 8080 with secure authentication only, if required.
-After receiving the above notification, use this command:
-
- proxy HTTP proxy.intranet 8080 nct
-
-You can also use the SOCKS keyword to pass a SOCKS server address, like:
-
- proxy SOCKS fe00::1 1080
-
-To accept connecting to the host and port directly, use this command:
-
- proxy NONE
-
-COMMAND -- rsa-sig (OpenVPN 2.3 or higher)
-------------------------------------------
-Provides support for external storage of the private key. Requires the
---management-external-key option. This option can be used instead of "key"
-in client mode, and allows the client to run without the need to load the
-actual private key. When the SSL protocol needs to perform an RSA sign
-operation, the data to be signed will be sent to the management interface
-via a notification as follows:
-
->RSA_SIGN:[BASE64_DATA]
-
-The management interface client should then sign BASE64_DATA
-using the private key and return the SSL signature as follows:
-
-rsa-sig
-[BASE64_SIG_LINE]
-.
-.
-.
-END
-
-Base64 encoded output of RSA_sign(NID_md5_sha1,... will provide a
-correct signature.
-
-This capability is intended to allow the use of arbitrary cryptographic
-service providers with OpenVPN via the management interface.
-
-
-OUTPUT FORMAT
--------------
-
-(1) Command success/failure indicated by "SUCCESS: [text]" or
- "ERROR: [text]".
-
-(2) For commands which print multiple lines of output,
- the last line will be "END".
-
-(3) Real-time messages will be in the form ">[source]:[text]",
- where source is "CLIENT", "ECHO", "FATAL", "HOLD", "INFO", "LOG",
- "NEED-OK", "PASSWORD", or "STATE".
-
-REAL-TIME MESSAGE FORMAT
-------------------------
-
-The OpenVPN management interface produces two kinds of
-output: (a) output from a command, or (b) asynchronous,
-real-time output which can be generated at any time.
-
-Real-time messages start with a '>' character in the first
-column and are immediately followed by a type keyword
-indicating the type of real-time message. The following
-types are currently defined:
-
-BYTECOUNT -- Real-time bandwidth usage notification, as enabled
- by "bytecount" command when OpenVPN is running as
- a client.
-
-BYTECOUNT_CLI -- Real-time bandwidth usage notification per-client,
- as enabled by "bytecount" command when OpenVPN is
- running as a server.
-
-CLIENT -- Notification of client connections and disconnections
- on an OpenVPN server. Enabled when OpenVPN is started
- with the --management-client-auth option. CLIENT
- notifications may be multi-line. See "The CLIENT
- notification" section below for detailed info.
-
-ECHO -- Echo messages as controlled by the "echo" command.
-
-FATAL -- A fatal error which is output to the log file just
- prior to OpenVPN exiting.
-
-HOLD -- Used to indicate that OpenVPN is in a holding state
- and will not start until it receives a
- "hold release" command.
-
-INFO -- Informational messages such as the welcome message.
-
-LOG -- Log message output as controlled by the "log" command.
-
-NEED-OK -- OpenVPN needs the end user to do something, such as
- insert a cryptographic token. The "needok" command can
- be used to tell OpenVPN to continue.
-
-NEED-STR -- OpenVPN needs information from end, such as
- a certificate to use. The "needstr" command can
- be used to tell OpenVPN to continue.
-
-PASSWORD -- Used to tell the management client that OpenVPN
- needs a password, also to indicate password
- verification failure.
-
-STATE -- Shows the current OpenVPN state, as controlled
- by the "state" command.
-
-The CLIENT notification
------------------------
-
-The ">CLIENT:" notification is enabled by the --management-client-auth
-OpenVPN configuration directive that gives the management interface client
-the responsibility to authenticate OpenVPN clients after their client
-certificate has been verified. CLIENT notifications may be multi-line, and
-the sequentiality of a given CLIENT notification, its associated environmental
-variables, and the terminating ">CLIENT:ENV,END" line are guaranteed to be
-atomic.
-
-CLIENT notification types:
-
-(1) Notify new client connection ("CONNECT") or existing client TLS session
- renegotiation ("REAUTH"). Information about the client is provided
- by a list of environmental variables which are documented in the OpenVPN
- man page. The environmental variables passed are equivalent to those
- that would be passed to an --auth-user-pass-verify script.
-
- >CLIENT:CONNECT|REAUTH,{CID},{KID}
- >CLIENT:ENV,name1=val1
- >CLIENT:ENV,name2=val2
- >CLIENT:ENV,...
- >CLIENT:ENV,END
-
-(2) Notify successful client authentication and session initiation.
- Called after CONNECT.
-
- >CLIENT:ESTABLISHED,{CID}
- >CLIENT:ENV,name1=val1
- >CLIENT:ENV,name2=val2
- >CLIENT:ENV,...
- >CLIENT:ENV,END
-
-(3) Notify existing client disconnection. The environmental variables passed
- are equivalent to those that would be passed to a --client-disconnect
- script.
-
- >CLIENT:DISCONNECT,{CID}
- >CLIENT:ENV,name1=val1
- >CLIENT:ENV,name2=val2
- >CLIENT:ENV,...
- >CLIENT:ENV,END
-
-(4) Notify that a particular virtual address or subnet
- is now associated with a specific client.
-
- >CLIENT:ADDRESS,{CID},{ADDR},{PRI}
-
-Variables:
-
-CID -- Client ID, numerical ID for each connecting client, sequence = 0,1,2,...
-KID -- Key ID, numerical ID for the key associated with a given client TLS session,
- sequence = 0,1,2,...
-PRI -- Primary (1) or Secondary (0) VPN address/subnet. All clients have at least
- one primary IP address. Secondary address/subnets are associated with
- client-specific "iroute" directives.
-ADDR -- IPv4 address/subnet in the form 1.2.3.4 or 1.2.3.0/255.255.255.0
-
-In the unlikely scenario of an extremely long-running OpenVPN server,
-CID and KID should be assumed to recycle to 0 after (2^32)-1, however this
-recycling behavior is guaranteed to be collision-free.
-
-Command Parsing
----------------
-
-The management interface uses the same command line lexical analyzer
-as is used by the OpenVPN config file parser.
-
-Whitespace is a parameter separator.
-
-Double quotation or single quotation characters ("", '') can be used
-to enclose parameters containing whitespace.
-
-Backslash-based shell escaping is performed, using the following
-mappings, when not in single quotations:
-
-\\ Maps to a single backslash character (\).
-\" Pass a literal doublequote character ("), don't
- interpret it as enclosing a parameter.
-\[SPACE] Pass a literal space or tab character, don't
- interpret it as a parameter delimiter.
-
-Challenge/Response Protocol
----------------------------
-
-The OpenVPN Challenge/Response Protocol allows an OpenVPN server to
-generate challenge questions that are shown to the user, and to see
-the user's responses to those challenges. Based on the responses, the
-server can allow or deny access.
-
-In this way, the OpenVPN Challenge/Response Protocol can be used
-to implement multi-factor authentication. Two different
-variations on the challenge/response protocol are supported: the
-"Dynamic" and "Static" protocols.
-
-The basic idea of Challenge/Response is that the user must enter an
-additional piece of information, in addition to the username and
-password, to successfully authenticate. Normally, this information
-is used to prove that the user posesses a certain key-like device
-such as cryptographic token or a particular mobile phone.
-
-Dynamic protocol:
-
-The OpenVPN dynamic challenge/response protocol works by returning
-a specially formatted error message after initial successful
-authentication. This error message contains the challenge question,
-and is formatted as such:
-
- CRV1:<flags>:<state_id>:<username_base64>:<challenge_text>
-
-flags: a series of optional, comma-separated flags:
- E : echo the response when the user types it
- R : a response is required
-
-state_id: an opaque string that should be returned to the server
- along with the response.
-
-username_base64 : the username formatted as base64
-
-challenge_text : the challenge text to be shown to the user
-
-Example challenge:
-
- CRV1:R,E:Om01u7Fh4LrGBS7uh0SWmzwabUiGiW6l:Y3Ix:Please enter token PIN
-
-After showing the challenge_text and getting a response from the user
-(if R flag is specified), the client should submit the following
-auth creds back to the OpenVPN server:
-
-Username: [username decoded from username_base64]
-Password: CRV1::<state_id>::<response_text>
-
-Where state_id is taken from the challenge request and response_text
-is what the user entered in response to the challenge_text.
-If the R flag is not present, response_text may be the empty
-string.
-
-Example response (suppose the user enters "8675309" for the token PIN):
-
- Username: cr1 ("Y3Ix" base64 decoded)
- Password: CRV1::Om01u7Fh4LrGBS7uh0SWmzwabUiGiW6l::8675309
-
-Static protocol:
-
-The static protocol differs from the dynamic protocol in that the
-challenge question and response field is given to the user in the
-initial username/password dialog, and the username, password, and
-response are delivered back to the server in a single transaction.
-
-The "static-challenge" directive is used to give the challenge text
-to OpenVPN and indicate whether or not the response should be echoed.
-
-When the "static-challenge" directive is used, the management
-interface will respond as such when credentials are needed:
-
- >PASSWORD:Need 'Auth' username/password SC:<ECHO>,<TEXT>
-
- ECHO: "1" if response should be echoed, "0" to not echo
- TEXT: challenge text that should be shown to the user to
- facilitate their response
-
-For example:
-
- >PASSWORD:Need 'Auth' username/password SC:1,Please enter token PIN
-
-The above notification indicates that OpenVPN needs a --auth-user-pass
-password plus a response to a static challenge ("Please enter token PIN").
-The "1" after the "SC:" indicates that the response should be echoed.
-
-The management interface client in this case should add the static
-challenge text to the auth dialog followed by a field for the user to
-enter a response. Then the client should pack the password and response
-together into an encoded password:
-
- username "Auth" foo
- password "Auth" "SCRV1:<BASE64_PASSWORD>:<BASE64_RESPONSE>"
-
-For example, if the user entered "bar" as the password and 8675309
-as the PIN, the following management interface commands should be
-issued:
-
- username "Auth" foo
- password "Auth" "SCRV1:Zm9v:ODY3NTMwOQ=="
-
-Client-side support for challenge/response protocol:
-
-Currently, the Access Server client and standalone OpenVPN
-client support both static and dynamic challenge/response
-protocols. However, any OpenVPN client UI that drives OpenVPN
-via the management interface needs to add explicit support
-for the challenge/response protocol.

-.\"*********************************************************
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.ft 3
-openvpn [ options ... ]
-.ft
-.\"*********************************************************
-.SH INTRODUCTION
-.LP
-OpenVPN is an open source VPN daemon by James Yonan.
-Because OpenVPN tries to
-be a universal VPN tool offering a great deal of flexibility,
-there are a lot of options on this manual page.
-If you're new to OpenVPN, you might want to skip ahead to the
-examples section where you will see how to construct simple
-VPNs on the command line without even needing a configuration file.
-
-Also note that there's more documentation and examples on
-the OpenVPN web site:
-.I http://openvpn.net/
-
-And if you would like to see a shorter version of this manual,
-see the openvpn usage message which can be obtained by
-running
-.B openvpn
-without any parameters.
-.\"*********************************************************
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.LP
-OpenVPN is a robust and highly flexible VPN daemon.
-OpenVPN supports SSL/TLS security, ethernet bridging,
-TCP or UDP tunnel transport through proxies or NAT,
-support for dynamic IP addresses and DHCP,
-scalability to hundreds or thousands of users,
-and portability to most major OS platforms.
-
-OpenVPN is tightly bound to the OpenSSL library, and derives much
-of its crypto capabilities from it.
-
-OpenVPN supports
-conventional encryption
-using a pre-shared secret key
-.B (Static Key mode)
-or
-public key security
-.B (SSL/TLS mode)
-using client & server certificates.
-OpenVPN also
-supports non-encrypted TCP/UDP tunnels.
-
-OpenVPN is designed to work with the
-.B TUN/TAP
-virtual networking interface that exists on most platforms.
-
-Overall, OpenVPN aims to offer many of the key features of IPSec but
-with a relatively lightweight footprint.
-.\"*********************************************************
-.SH OPTIONS
-OpenVPN allows any option to be placed either on the command line
-or in a configuration file. Though all command line options are preceded
-by a double-leading-dash ("\-\-"), this prefix can be removed when
-an option is placed in a configuration file.
-.\"*********************************************************
-.TP
-.B \-\-help
-Show options.
-.\"*********************************************************
-.TP
-.B \-\-config file
-Load additional config options from
-.B file
-where each line corresponds to one command line option,
-but with the leading '\-\-' removed.
-
-If
-.B \-\-config file
-is the only option to the openvpn command,
-the
-.B \-\-config
-can be removed, and the command can be given as
-.B openvpn file
-
-Note that
-configuration files can be nested to a reasonable depth.
-
-Double quotation or single quotation characters ("", '')
-can be used to enclose single parameters containing whitespace,
-and "#" or ";" characters in the first column
-can be used to denote comments.
-
-Note that OpenVPN 2.0 and higher performs backslash-based shell
-escaping for characters not in single quotations,
-so the following mappings should be observed:
-
-.nf
-.ft 3
-.in +4
-\\\\ Maps to a single backslash character (\\).
-\\" Pass a literal doublequote character ("), don't
- interpret it as enclosing a parameter.
-\\[SPACE] Pass a literal space or tab character, don't
- interpret it as a parameter delimiter.
-.in -4
-.ft
-.fi
-
-For example on Windows, use double backslashes to
-represent pathnames:
-
-.nf
-.ft 3
-.in +4
-secret "c:\\\\OpenVPN\\\\secret.key"
-.in -4
-.ft
-.fi
-
-For examples of configuration files,
-see
-.I http://openvpn.net/examples.html
-
-Here is an example configuration file:
-
-.nf
-.ft 3
-.in +4
-#
-# Sample OpenVPN configuration file for
-# using a pre-shared static key.
-#
-# '#' or ';' may be used to delimit comments.
-
-# Use a dynamic tun device.
-dev tun
-
-# Our remote peer
-remote mypeer.mydomain
-
-# 10.1.0.1 is our local VPN endpoint
-# 10.1.0.2 is our remote VPN endpoint
-ifconfig 10.1.0.1 10.1.0.2
-
-# Our pre-shared static key
-secret static.key

-.\"*********************************************************
-.SS Tunnel Options:
-.TP
-.B \-\-mode m
-Set OpenVPN major mode. By default, OpenVPN runs in
-point-to-point mode ("p2p"). OpenVPN 2.0 introduces
-a new mode ("server") which implements a multi-client
-server capability.
-.\"*********************************************************
-.TP
-.B \-\-local host
-Local host name or IP address for bind.
-If specified, OpenVPN will bind to this address only.
-If unspecified, OpenVPN will bind to all interfaces.
-.\"*********************************************************
-.TP
-.B \-\-remote host [port] [proto]
-Remote host name or IP address. On the client, multiple
-.B \-\-remote
-options may be specified for redundancy, each referring
-to a different OpenVPN server. Specifying multiple
-.B \-\-remote
-options for this purpose is a special case of the more
-general connection-profile feature. See the
-.B <connection>
-documentation below.
-
-The OpenVPN client will try to connect to a server at
-.B host:port
-in the order specified by the list of
-.B \-\-remote
-options.
-
-.B proto
-indicates the protocol to use when connecting with the
-remote, and may be "tcp" or "udp".
-
-The client will move on to the next host in the list,
-in the event of connection failure.
-Note that at any given time, the OpenVPN client
-will at most be connected to
-one server.
-
-Note that since UDP is connectionless, connection failure
-is defined by the
-.B \-\-ping
-and
-.B \-\-ping-restart
-options.
-
-Note the following corner case: If you use multiple
-.B \-\-remote
-options, AND you are dropping root privileges on
-the client with
-.B \-\-user
-and/or
-.B \-\-group,
-AND the client is running a non-Windows OS, if the client needs
-to switch to a different server, and that server pushes
-back different TUN/TAP or route settings, the client may lack
-the necessary privileges to close and reopen the TUN/TAP interface.
-This could cause the client to exit with a fatal error.
-
-If
-.B \-\-remote
-is unspecified, OpenVPN will listen
-for packets from any IP address, but will not act on those packets unless
-they pass all authentication tests. This requirement for authentication
-is binding on all potential peers, even those from known and supposedly
-trusted IP addresses (it is very easy to forge a source IP address on
-a UDP packet).
-
-When used in TCP mode,
-.B \-\-remote
-will act as a filter, rejecting connections from any host which does
-not match
-.B host.
-
-If
-.B host
-is a DNS name which resolves to multiple IP addresses,
-one will be randomly
-chosen, providing a sort of basic load-balancing and
-failover capability.
-.\"*********************************************************
-.TP
-.B \-\-remote-random-hostname
-Add a random string (6 characters) to first DNS label of hostname to prevent
-DNS caching. For example, "foo.bar.gov" would be modified to
-"<random-chars>.foo.bar.gov".
-.\"*********************************************************
-.TP
-.B <connection>
-Define a client connection
-profile. Client connection profiles are groups of OpenVPN options that
-describe how to connect to a given OpenVPN server. Client connection
-profiles are specified within an OpenVPN configuration file, and
-each profile is bracketed by
-.B <connection>
-and
-.B </connection>.
-
-An OpenVPN client will try each connection profile sequentially
-until it achieves a successful connection.
-
-.B \-\-remote-random
-can be used to initially "scramble" the connection
-list.
-
-Here is an example of connection profile usage:
-
-.nf
-.ft 3
-.in +4
-client
-dev tun
-
-<connection>
-remote 198.19.34.56 1194 udp

-
-The MTU (Maximum Transmission Units) is

-.B \-\-fragment max
-Enable internal datagram fragmentation so

-
-The

-
-.B \-\-fragment
-adds 4 bytes of overhead per datagram.

-See the

-option below for an important related option to
-.B \-\-fragment.
-
-It should also be noted that this option is not meant to replace
-UDP fragmentation at the IP stack level. It is only meant as a
-last resort when path MTU discovery is broken. Using this option
-is less efficient than fixing path MTU discovery for your IP link and
-using native IP fragmentation instead.
-
-Having said that, there are circumstances where using OpenVPN's
-internal fragmentation capability may be your only option, such
-as tunneling a UDP multicast stream which requires fragmentation.
-.\"*********************************************************
-.TP
-.B \-\-mssfix max
-Announce to TCP sessions running over the tunnel that they should limit
-their send packet sizes such that after OpenVPN has encapsulated them,
-the resulting UDP packet size that OpenVPN sends to its peer will not
-exceed
-.B max
-bytes. The default value is
-.B 1450.
-
-The
-.B max
-parameter is interpreted in the same way as the
-.B \-\-link-mtu

-
-The
-.B \-\-mssfix

-for OpenVPN peer-to-peer communication, i.e.
-.B \-\-proto udp.
-
-.B \-\-mssfix
-and
-.B \-\-fragment
-can be ideally used together, where
-.B \-\-mssfix
-will try to keep TCP from needing
-packet fragmentation in the first place,
-and if big packets come through anyhow
-(from protocols other than TCP),
-.B \-\-fragment
-will internally fragment them.
-
-Both
-.B \-\-fragment
-and
-.B \-\-mssfix
-are designed to work around cases where Path MTU discovery
-is broken on the network path between OpenVPN peers.
-
-The usual symptom of such a breakdown is an OpenVPN

-during active usage.
-
-If
-.B \-\-fragment

-Limit bandwidth of outgoing tunnel data to

-If you want to limit the bandwidth

-
-OpenVPN uses the following algorithm to implement

-.I n
-bytes per second, after a datagram write of
-.I b
-bytes is queued on the TCP/UDP port, wait a minimum of
-.I (b / n)
-seconds before queuing the next write.
-
-It should be noted that OpenVPN supports multiple
-tunnels between the same two peers, allowing you
-to construct full-speed and reduced bandwidth tunnels
-at the same time,
-routing low-priority data such as off-site backups
-over the reduced bandwidth tunnel, and other data
-over the full-speed tunnel.
-
-Also note that for low bandwidth tunnels
-(under 1000 bytes per second), you should probably
-use lower MTU values as well (see above), otherwise
-the packet latency will grow so large as to trigger
-timeouts in the TLS layer and TCP connections running

-
-If the optional

-
-In any case, OpenVPN's internal ping packets (which are just

-is specified), the ping packet
-will be cryptographically secure.
-
-This option has two intended uses:

-(1) Compatibility

-
-This option is useful in cases
-where the remote peer has a dynamic IP address and
-a low-TTL DNS name is used to track the IP address using
-a service such as
-.I http://dyndns.org/
-+ a dynamic DNS client such
-as

-
-If the peer cannot be reached, a restart will be triggered, causing
-the hostname used with
-.B \-\-remote
-to be re-resolved (if

-is also specified).
-
-In server mode,
-.B \-\-ping-restart, \-\-inactive,

-applied to
-individual client instance objects, never to whole server itself.
-Note also in server mode that any internally generated signal
-which would normally cause a restart, will cause the deletion
-of the client instance object instead.
-
-In client mode, the
-.B \-\-ping-restart
-parameter is set to 120 seconds by default. This default will
-hold until the client pulls a replacement value from the server, based on
-the

-Become a daemon after all initialization functions are completed.
-This option will cause all message and error output to
-be sent to the syslog file (such as /var/log/messages),
-except for the output of scripts and
-ifconfig commands,
-which will go to /dev/null unless otherwise redirected.
-The syslog redirection occurs immediately at the point
-that
-.B \-\-daemon
-is parsed on the command line even though
-the daemonization point occurs later. If one of the
-.B \-\-log
-options is present, it will supercede syslog
-redirection.
-
-The optional
-.B progname
-parameter will cause OpenVPN to report its program name
-to the system logger as
-.B progname.
-This can be useful in linking OpenVPN messages
-in the syslog file with specific tunnels.
-When unspecified,
-.B progname
-defaults to "openvpn".
-
-When OpenVPN is run with the
-.B \-\-daemon
-option, it will try to delay daemonization until the majority of initialization
-functions which are capable of generating fatal errors are complete. This means
-that initialization scripts can test the return status of the
-openvpn command for a fairly reliable indication of whether the command
-has correctly initialized and entered the packet forwarding event loop.
-
-In OpenVPN, the vast majority of errors which occur after initialization are non-fatal.

-
-Also note that in

-
-The management interface can also listen on a unix domain socket,
-for those platforms that support it. To use a unix domain socket, specify
-the unix socket pathname in place of
-.B IP
-and set

-to 'unix'. While the default behavior is to create a unix domain socket
-that may be connected to by any process, the
-.B \-\-management-client-user

-directives can be used to restrict access.
-
-The management interface provides a special mode where the TCP
-management link can operate over the tunnel itself. To enable this mode,
-set
-.B IP
-= "tunnel". Tunnel mode will cause the management interface
-to listen for a TCP connection on the local VPN address of the
-TUN/TAP interface.
-
-While the management port is designed for programmatic control
-of OpenVPN by other applications, it is possible to telnet

-.B \-\-server-bridge ['nogw']
-
-A helper directive similar to
-.B \-\-server
-which is designed to simplify the configuration
-of OpenVPN's server mode in ethernet bridging configurations.
-
-If
-.B \-\-server-bridge
-is used without any parameters, it will enable a DHCP-proxy
-mode, where connecting OpenVPN clients will receive an IP
-address for their TAP adapter from the DHCP server running
-on the OpenVPN server-side LAN.
-Note that only clients that support
-the binding of a DHCP client with the TAP adapter (such as
-Windows) can support this mode. The optional
-.B nogw
-flag (advanced) indicates that gateway information should not be
-pushed to the client.
-
-To configure ethernet bridging, you
-must first use your OS's bridging capability
-to bridge the TAP interface with the ethernet
-NIC interface. For example, on Linux this is done
-with the
-.B brctl
-tool, and with Windows XP it is done in the Network
-Connections Panel by selecting the ethernet and
-TAP adapters and right-clicking on "Bridge Connections".
-
-Next you you must manually set the
-IP/netmask on the bridge interface. The
-.B gateway
-and
-.B netmask
-parameters to
-.B \-\-server-bridge
-can be set to either the IP/netmask of the
-bridge interface, or the IP/netmask of the
-default gateway/router on the bridged
-subnet.
-
-Finally, set aside a IP range in the bridged
-subnet,
-denoted by
-.B pool-start-IP
-and
-.B pool-end-IP,
-for OpenVPN to allocate to connecting
-clients.
-
-For example,
-.B server-bridge 10.8.0.4 255.255.255.0 10.8.0.128 10.8.0.254
-expands as follows:

-.B \-\-iroute network [netmask]
-Generate an internal route to a specific

-.B netmask
-parameter, if omitted, defaults to 255.255.255.255.
-
-This directive can be used to route a fixed subnet from
-the server to a particular client, regardless
-of where the client is connecting from. Remember
-that you must also add the route to the system
-routing table as well (such as by using the
-.B \-\-route
-directive). The reason why two routes are needed
-is that the
-.B \-\-route
-directive routes the packet from the kernel
-to OpenVPN. Once in OpenVPN, the
-.B \-\-iroute
-directive routes to the specific client.
-
-This option must be specified either in a client
-instance config file using
-.B \-\-client-config-dir
-or dynamically generated using a
-.B \-\-client-connect
-script.
-
-The
-.B \-\-iroute
-directive also has an important interaction with
-.B \-\-push
-"route ...".
-.B \-\-iroute
-essentially defines a subnet which is owned by a

-If you would like other clients to be able to reach A's
-subnet, you can use
-.B \-\-push
-"route ..."
-together with
-.B \-\-client-to-client
-to effect this. In order for all clients to see
-A's subnet, OpenVPN must push this route to all clients
-EXCEPT for A, since the subnet is already owned by A.
-OpenVPN accomplishes this by not
-not pushing a route to a client
-if it matches one of the client's iroutes.

-.IP
-.B
-C=US, L=Somewhere, CN=John Doe, emailAddress=john@example.com
-.IP
-The new default format in OpenVPN v2.3 also does not do the character remapping
-which happened earlier. This new format enables proper support for UTF\-8
-characters in the usernames, X.509 Subject fields and Common Name variables and
-it complies to the RFC 2253, UTF\-8 String Representation of Distinguished

-
-When the

-
-The
-.B direction
-parameter should always be complementary on either side of the connection,
-i.e. one side should use "0" and the other should use "1", or both sides
-should omit it altogether.
-
-The

-parameter requires that
-.B file
-contains a 2048 bit key. While pre-1.5 versions of OpenVPN

-
-Static key encryption mode has certain advantages,

-
-There are no certificates

-The only requirement is that you have a pre-existing secure channel with
-your peer (such as
-.B ssh
-) to initially copy the key. This requirement, along with the
-fact that your key never changes unless you manually generate a new one,
-makes it somewhat less secure than TLS mode (see below). If an attacker
-manages to steal your key, everything that was ever encrypted with
-it is compromised. Contrast that to the perfect forward secrecy features of
-TLS mode (using Diffie Hellman key exchange), where even if an attacker
-was able to steal your private key, he would gain no information to help
-him decrypt past sessions.
-
-Another advantageous aspect of Static Key encryption mode is that
-it is a handshake-free protocol
-without any distinguishing signature or feature
-(such as a header or protocol handshake sequence)
-that would mark the ciphertext packets as being
-generated by OpenVPN. Anyone eavesdropping on the wire

-.B \-\-no-replay
-(Advanced) Disable OpenVPN's protection against replay attacks.
-Don't use this option unless you are prepared to make
-a tradeoff of greater efficiency in exchange for less
-security.
-
-OpenVPN provides datagram replay protection by default.
-
-Replay protection is accomplished
-by tagging each outgoing datagram with an identifier
-that is guaranteed to be unique for the key being used.
-The peer that receives the datagram will check for
-the uniqueness of the identifier. If the identifier
-was already received in a previous datagram, OpenVPN
-will drop the packet. Replay protection is important
-to defeat attacks such as a SYN flood attack, where
-the attacker listens in the wire, intercepts a TCP
-SYN packet (identifying it by the context in which
-it occurs in relation to other packets), then floods
-the receiving peer with copies of this packet.
-
-OpenVPN's replay protection is implemented in slightly
-different ways, depending on the key management mode
-you have selected.
-
-In Static Key mode
-or when using an CFB or OFB mode cipher, OpenVPN uses a
-64 bit unique identifier that combines a time stamp with
-an incrementing sequence number.
-
-When using TLS mode for key exchange and a CBC cipher
-mode, OpenVPN uses only a 32 bit sequence number without
-a time stamp, since OpenVPN can guarantee the uniqueness
-of this value for each key. As in IPSec, if the sequence number is
-close to wrapping back to zero, OpenVPN will trigger
-a new key exchange.
-
-To check for replays, OpenVPN uses
-the
-.I sliding window
-algorithm used
-by IPSec.
-.\"*********************************************************
-.TP
-.B \-\-replay-window n [t]
-Use a replay protection sliding-window of size
-.B n
-and a time window of
-.B t
-seconds.
-
-By default
-.B n
-is 64 (the IPSec default) and
-.B t
-is 15 seconds.
-
-This option is only relevant in UDP mode, i.e.
-when either
-.B \-\-proto udp
-is specifed, or no
-.B \-\-proto
-option is specified.
-
-When OpenVPN tunnels IP packets over UDP, there is the possibility that
-packets might be dropped or delivered out of order. Because OpenVPN, like IPSec,
-is emulating the physical network layer,
-it will accept an out-of-order packet sequence, and
-will deliver such packets in the same order they were received to
-the TCP/IP protocol stack, provided they satisfy several constraints.
-
-.B (a)
-The packet cannot be a replay (unless
-.B \-\-no-replay
-is specified, which disables replay protection altogether).
-
-.B (b)
-If a packet arrives out of order, it will only be accepted if the difference
-between its sequence number and the highest sequence number received
-so far is less than
-.B n.
-
-.B (c)
-If a packet arrives out of order, it will only be accepted if it arrives no later
-than
-.B t
-seconds after any packet containing a higher sequence number.
-
-If you are using a network link with a large pipeline (meaning that
-the product of bandwidth and latency is high), you may want to use
-a larger value for
-.B n.
-Satellite links in particular often require this.
-
-If you run OpenVPN at
-.B \-\-verb 4,
-you will see the message "Replay-window backtrack occurred [x]"
-every time the maximum sequence number backtrack seen thus far
-increases. This can be used to calibrate
-.B n.
-
-There is some controversy on the appropriate method of handling packet
-reordering at the security layer.
-
-Namely, to what extent should the
-security layer protect the encapsulated protocol from attacks which masquerade
-as the kinds of normal packet loss and reordering that occur over IP networks?
-
-The IPSec and OpenVPN approach is to allow packet reordering within a certain
-fixed sequence number window.
-
-OpenVPN adds to the IPSec model by limiting the window size in time as well as
-sequence space.
-
-OpenVPN also adds TCP transport as an option (not offered by IPSec) in which
-case OpenVPN can adopt a very strict attitude towards message deletion and
-reordering: Don't allow it. Since TCP guarantees reliability, any packet
-loss or reordering event can be assumed to be an attack.
-
-In this sense, it could be argued that TCP tunnel transport is preferred when
-tunneling non-IP or UDP application protocols which might be vulnerable to a
-message deletion or reordering attack which falls within the normal
-operational parameters of IP networks.
-
-So I would make the statement that one should never tunnel a non-IP protocol
-or UDP application protocol over UDP, if the protocol might be vulnerable to a
-message deletion or reordering attack that falls within the normal operating
-parameters of what is to be expected from the physical IP layer. The problem
-is easily fixed by simply using TCP as the VPN transport layer.

-
-This option will keep a disk copy of the current replay protection

-(Advanced) Disable OpenVPN's use of IV (cipher initialization vector).

-OpenVPN uses an IV by default, and requires it for CFB and

-Using an IV is important for security when multiple
-messages are being encrypted/decrypted with the same key.
-
-IV is implemented differently depending on the cipher mode used.
-
-In CBC mode, OpenVPN uses a pseudo-random IV for each packet.
-
-In CFB/OFB mode, OpenVPN uses a unique sequence number and time stamp
-as the IV. In fact, in CFB/OFB mode, OpenVPN uses a datagram
-space-saving optimization that uses the unique identifier for

-would be something like this:
-
-.B openvpn \-\-test-crypto \-\-secret key
-

-
-.B openvpn \-\-test-crypto \-\-secret key \-\-verb 9
-
-This option is very useful to test OpenVPN after it has been ported to

-crypto library, or OpenVPN's crypto code. Since it is a self-test mode,
-problems with encryption and authentication can be debugged independently
-of network and tunnel issues.
-.\"*********************************************************
-.SS TLS Mode Options:
-TLS mode is the most powerful crypto mode of OpenVPN in both security and flexibility.
-TLS mode works by establishing control and
-data channels which are multiplexed over a single TCP/UDP port. OpenVPN initiates
-a TLS session over the control channel and uses it to exchange cipher
-and HMAC keys to protect the data channel. TLS mode uses a robust reliability
-layer over the UDP connection for all control channel communication, while
-the data channel, over which encrypted tunnel data passes, is forwarded without
-any mediation. The result is the best of both worlds: a fast data channel
-that forwards over UDP with only the overhead of encrypt,
-decrypt, and HMAC functions,
-and a control channel that provides all of the security features of TLS,
-including certificate-based authentication and Diffie Hellman forward secrecy.
-
-To use TLS mode, each peer that runs OpenVPN should have its own local
-certificate/key pair (
-.B \-\-cert
-and
-.B \-\-key
-), signed by the root certificate which is specified
-in
-.B \-\-ca.
-
-When two OpenVPN peers connect, each presents its local certificate to the
-other. Each peer will then check that its partner peer presented a
-certificate which was signed by the master root certificate as specified in
-.B \-\-ca.
-
-If that check on both peers succeeds, then the TLS negotiation
-will succeed, both OpenVPN
-peers will exchange temporary session keys, and the tunnel will begin
-passing data.
-
-The OpenVPN distribution contains a set of scripts for
-managing RSA certificates & keys,

-exposing many parts of OpenVPN and the OpenSSL library to the packets
-it is sending. Most successful network attacks today seek
-to either exploit bugs in programs (such as buffer overflow attacks) or
-force a program to consume so many resources that it becomes unusable.
-Of course the first line of defense is always to produce clean,
-well-audited code. OpenVPN has been written with buffer overflow
-attack prevention as a top priority.
-But as history has shown, many of the most widely used
-network applications have, from time to time,
-fallen to buffer overflow attacks.
-
-So as a second line of defense, OpenVPN offers
-this special layer of authentication on top of the TLS control channel so that
-every packet on the control channel is authenticated by an
-HMAC signature and a unique ID for replay protection.
-This signature will also help protect against DoS (Denial of Service) attacks.
-An important rule of thumb in reducing vulnerability to DoS attacks is to
-minimize the amount of resources a potential, but as yet unauthenticated,
-client is able to consume.
-
-.B \-\-tls-auth
-does this by signing every TLS control channel packet with an HMAC signature,
-including packets which are sent before the TLS level has had a chance
-to authenticate the peer.
-The result is that packets without
-the correct signature can be dropped immediately upon reception,
-before they have a chance to consume additional system resources
-such as by initiating a TLS handshake.
-.B \-\-tls-auth
-can be strengthened by adding the
-.B \-\-replay-persist
-option which will keep OpenVPN's replay protection state
-in a file so that it is not lost across restarts.
-
-It should be emphasized that this feature is optional and that the
-passphrase/key file used with
-.B \-\-tls-auth
-gives a peer nothing more than the power to initiate a TLS
-handshake. It is not used to encrypt or authenticate any tunnel data.

-.B \-\-askpass [file]
-Get certificate password from console or

-before we daemonize.
-
-For the extremely
-security conscious, it is possible to protect your private key with
-a password. Of course this means that every time the OpenVPN
-daemon is started you must be there to type the password. The
-.B \-\-askpass
-option allows you to start OpenVPN from the command line. It will
-query you for a password before it daemonizes. To protect a private

-option when you use the
-.B openssl
-command line tool to manage certificates and private keys.
-
-If

-is specified, read the password from the first line of

-Keep in mind that storing your password in a file
-to a certain extent invalidates the extra security provided by
-using an encrypted key (Note: OpenVPN

-forget username/password inputs after they are used. As a result,
-when OpenVPN needs a username/password, it will prompt for input
-from stdin, which may be multiple times during the duration of an

-
-.B cmd
-should return 0 to allow the TLS handshake to proceed, or 1 to fail.
-
-.B cmd
-consists of a path to script (or executable program), optionally

-.B cmd
-, as follows:
-
-.B cmd certificate_depth subject
-
-These arguments are, respectively, the current certificate depth and
-the X509 common name (cn) of the peer.
-
-This feature is useful if the peer you want to trust has a certificate
-which was signed by a certificate authority who also signed many
-other certificates, where you don't necessarily want to trust all of them,
-but rather be selective about which
-peer certificate you will accept. This feature allows you to write a script
-which will test the X509 name on a certificate and decide whether or

-.B \-\-mktun
-(Standalone)
-Create a persistent tunnel on platforms which support them such
-as Linux. Normally TUN/TAP tunnels exist only for
-the period of time that an application has them open. This option
-takes advantage of the TUN/TAP driver's ability to build persistent
-tunnels that live through multiple instantiations of OpenVPN and die
-only when they are deleted or the machine is rebooted.
-
-One of the advantages of persistent tunnels is that they eliminate the
-need for separate
-.B \-\-up

-.B \-\-down
-scripts to run the appropriate
-.BR ifconfig (8)
-and
-.BR route (8)
-commands. These commands can be placed in the the same shell script

-
-Another advantage is that open connections through the TUN/TAP-based tunnel
-will not be reset if the OpenVPN peer restarts. This can be useful to
-provide uninterrupted connectivity through the tunnel in the event of a DHCP
-reset of the peer's public IP address (see the
-.B \-\-ipchange

-
-One disadvantage of persistent tunnels is that it is harder to automatically

-OpenVPN expects the adapter to be set to.
-
-.B dynamic [offset] [lease-time] \-\-
-Automatically set the IP address and netmask by replying to
-DHCP query messages generated by the kernel. This mode is
-probably the "cleanest" solution
-for setting the TCP/IP properties since it uses the well-known
-DHCP protocol. There are, however, two prerequisites for using
-this mode: (1) The TCP/IP properties for the TAP-Win32
-adapter must be set to "Obtain an IP address automatically," and
-(2) OpenVPN needs to claim an IP address in the subnet for use
-as the virtual DHCP server address. By default in
-.B \-\-dev tap
-mode, OpenVPN will
-take the normally unused first address in the subnet. For example,
-if your subnet is 192.168.4.0 netmask 255.255.255.0, then
-OpenVPN will take the IP address 192.168.4.0 to use as the
-virtual DHCP server address. In
-.B \-\-dev tun
-mode, OpenVPN will cause the DHCP server to masquerade as if it were
-coming from the remote endpoint. The optional offset parameter is
-an integer which is > -256 and < 256 and which defaults to 0.
-If offset is positive, the DHCP server will masquerade as the IP
-address at network address + offset.
-If offset is negative, the DHCP server will masquerade as the IP
-address at broadcast address + offset. The Windows
-.B ipconfig /all
-command can be used to show what Windows thinks the DHCP server
-address is. OpenVPN will "claim" this address, so make sure to
-use a free address. Having said that, different OpenVPN instantiations,
-including different ends of the same connection, can share the same
-virtual DHCP server address. The
-.B lease-time
-parameter controls the lease time of the DHCP assignment given to
-the TAP-Win32 adapter, and is denoted in seconds.
-Normally a very long lease time is preferred
-because it prevents routes involving the TAP-Win32 adapter from
-being lost when the system goes to sleep. The default
-lease time is one year.
-
-.B netsh \-\-
-Automatically set the IP address and netmask using
-the Windows command-line "netsh"
-command. This method appears to work correctly on
-Windows XP but not Windows 2000.
-
-.B ipapi \-\-
-Automatically set the IP address and netmask using the
-Windows IP Helper API. This approach
-does not have ideal semantics, though testing has indicated
-that it works okay in practice. If you use this option,
-it is best to leave the TCP/IP properties for the TAP-Win32

-on the client machine block the DHCP negotiation used by
-the TAP-Win32 adapter.
-Note that if the

-failover occurs, the TAP-Win32 adapter
-TCP/IP properties will be reset from DHCP to static, and this
-will cause future OpenVPN startups using the
-.B adaptive
-mode to use
-.B netsh
-immediately, rather than trying
-.B dynamic
-first. To "unstick" the

-.SS String Types and Remapping
-In certain cases, OpenVPN will perform remapping of characters
-in strings. Essentially, any characters outside the set of
-permitted characters for each string type will be converted
-to underbar ('_').
-
-.B Q:
-Why is string remapping necessary?
-
-.B A:
-It's an important security feature to prevent the malicious coding of
-strings from untrusted sources to be passed as parameters to scripts,
-saved in the environment, used as a common name, translated to a filename,
-etc.
-
-.B Q:
-Can string remapping be disabled?
-
-.B A:
-Yes, by using the
-.B \-\-no-name-remapping
-option, however this should be considered an advanced option.
-
-Here is a brief rundown of OpenVPN's current string types and the
-permitted character class for each string:
-
-.B X509 Names:
-Alphanumeric, underbar ('_'), dash ('-'), dot ('.'), at
-('@'), colon (':'), slash ('/'), and equal ('='). Alphanumeric is defined
-as a character which will cause the C library isalnum() function to return
-true.
-
-.B Common Names:
-Alphanumeric, underbar ('_'), dash ('-'), dot ('.'), and at
-('@').
-
-.B \-\-auth-user-pass username:
-Same as Common Name, with one exception: starting with OpenVPN 2.0.1,
-the username is passed to the OPENVPN_PLUGIN_AUTH_USER_PASS_VERIFY plugin in its raw form,
-without string remapping.
-
-.B \-\-auth-user-pass password:
-Any "printable" character except CR or LF.
-Printable is defined to be a character which will cause the C library
-isprint() function to return true.
-
-.B \-\-client-config-dir filename as derived from common name or username:
-Alphanumeric, underbar ('_'), dash ('-'), and dot ('.') except for "." or
-".." as standalone strings. As of 2.0.1-rc6, the at ('@') character has
-been added as well for compatibility with the common name character class.
-
-.B Environmental variable names:
-Alphanumeric or underbar ('_').
-
-.B Environmental variable values:
-Any printable character.
-
-For all cases, characters in a string which are not members of the legal
-character class for that string type will be remapped to underbar ('_').
-.\"*********************************************************
-.SS Environmental Variables
-Once set, a variable is persisted
-indefinitely until it is reset by a new value or a restart,
-
-As of OpenVPN 2.0-beta12, in server mode, environmental
-variables set by OpenVPN
-are scoped according to the client objects
-they are
-associated with, so there should not be any issues with
-scripts having access to stale, previously set variables
-which refer to different client instances.

-
-Load driver:
-.B modprobe tun
-.\"*********************************************************
-.SH EXAMPLES
-Prior to running these examples, you should have OpenVPN installed on two
-machines with network connectivity between them. If you have not
-yet installed OpenVPN, consult the INSTALL file included in the OpenVPN
-distribution.
-.\"*********************************************************
-.SS TUN/TAP Setup:

-.LP
-.IP
-.B modprobe tun

-If you installed from RPM, the

-Only Linux 2.4 and newer are supported.
-
-For other platforms, consult the INSTALL file at
-.I http://openvpn.net/install.html
-for more information.
-.\"*********************************************************
-.SS Firewall Setup:
-If firewalls exist between
-the two machines, they should be set to forward UDP port 1194
-in both directions. If you do not have control over the firewalls
-between the two machines, you may still be able to use OpenVPN by adding
-.B \-\-ping 15
-to each of the
-.B openvpn
-commands used below in the examples (this will cause each peer to send out
-a UDP ping to its remote peer once every 15 seconds which will cause many
-stateful firewalls to forward packets in both directions
-without an explicit firewall rule).
-
-If you are using a Linux iptables-based firewall, you may need to enter
-the following command to allow incoming packets on the TUN device:
-.IP
-.B iptables -A INPUT -i tun+ -j ACCEPT
-.LP
-See the firewalls section below for more information on configuring firewalls
-for use with OpenVPN.
-.\"*********************************************************
-.SS VPN Address Setup:
-For purposes
-of our example, our two machines will be called
-.B may.kg
-and
-.B june.kg.
-If you are constructing a VPN over the internet, then replace
-.B may.kg
-and
-.B june.kg
-with the internet hostname or IP address that each machine will use
-to contact the other over the internet.
-
-Now we will choose the tunnel endpoints. Tunnel endpoints are
-private IP addresses that only have meaning in the context of
-the VPN. Each machine will use the tunnel endpoint of the other
-machine to access it over the VPN. In our example,
-the tunnel endpoint for may.kg
-will be 10.4.0.1 and for june.kg, 10.4.0.2.
-
-Once the VPN is established, you have essentially
-created a secure alternate path between the two hosts
-which is addressed by using the tunnel endpoints. You can
-control which network
-traffic passes between the hosts
-(a) over the VPN or (b) independently of the VPN, by choosing whether to use
-(a) the VPN endpoint address or (b) the public internet address,
-to access the remote host. For example if you are on may.kg and you wish to connect to june.kg
-via
-.B ssh
-without using the VPN (since
-.B ssh
-has its own built-in security) you would use the command
-.B ssh june.kg.
-However in the same scenario, you could also use the command
-.B telnet 10.4.0.2
-to create a telnet session with june.kg over the VPN, that would
-use the VPN to secure the session rather than
-.B ssh.
-
-You can use any address you wish for the
-tunnel endpoints
-but make sure that they are private addresses
-(such as those that begin with 10 or 192.168) and that they are
-not part of any existing subnet on the networks of
-either peer, unless you are bridging. If you use an address that is part of
-your local subnet for either of the tunnel endpoints,
-you will get a weird feedback loop.

-.SS Example 3: A tunnel with full TLS-based security
-For this test, we will designate
-.B may
-as the TLS client and
-.B june
-as the TLS server.
-.I Note that client or server designation only has meaning for the TLS subsystem. It has no bearing on OpenVPN's peer-to-peer, UDP-based communication model.
-
-First, build a separate certificate/key pair
-for both may and june (see above where
-.B \-\-cert
-is discussed for more info). Then construct
-Diffie Hellman parameters (see above where
-.B \-\-dh
-is discussed for more info). You can also use the
-included test files client.crt, client.key,
-server.crt, server.key and ca.crt.
-The .crt files are certificates/public-keys, the .key
-files are private keys, and ca.crt is a certification
-authority who has signed both
-client.crt and server.crt. For Diffie Hellman
-parameters you can use the included file dh1024.pem.
-.I Note that all client, server, and certificate authority certificates and keys included in the OpenVPN distribution are totally insecure and should be used for testing only.

-On june:

-.B ping 10.4.0.1
-.LP
-Notice the
-.B \-\-reneg-sec 60
-option we used above. That tells OpenVPN to renegotiate
-the data channel keys every minute.
-Since we used
-.B \-\-verb 5
-above, you will see status information on each new key negotiation.
-
-For production operations, a key renegotiation interval of 60 seconds
-is probably too frequent. Omit the
-.B \-\-reneg-sec 60
-option to use OpenVPN's default key renegotiation interval of one hour.
-.\"*********************************************************
-.SS Routing:
-Assuming you can ping across the tunnel,
-the next step is to route a real subnet over
-the secure tunnel. Suppose that may and june have two network
-interfaces each, one connected
-to the internet, and the other to a private
-network. Our goal is to securely connect
-both private networks. We will assume that may's private subnet
-is 10.0.0.0/24 and june's is 10.0.1.0/24.
-.LP
-First, ensure that IP forwarding is enabled on both peers.
-On Linux, enable routing:
-.IP
-.B echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
-.LP
-and enable TUN packet forwarding through the firewall:
-.IP
-.B iptables -A FORWARD -i tun+ -j ACCEPT
-.LP
-On may:
-.IP
-.B route add -net 10.0.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.4.0.2
-.LP
-On june:
-.IP
-.B route add -net 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.4.0.1
-.LP
-Now any machine on the 10.0.0.0/24 subnet can
-access any machine on the 10.0.1.0/24 subnet
-over the secure tunnel (or vice versa).
-
-In a production environment, you could put the route command(s)
-in a script and execute with the
-.B \-\-up
-option.
-.\"*********************************************************
-.SH FIREWALLS
-OpenVPN's usage of a single UDP port makes it fairly firewall-friendly.
-You should add an entry to your firewall rules to allow incoming OpenVPN
-packets. On Linux 2.4+:
-.IP
-.B iptables -A INPUT -p udp -s 1.2.3.4 \-\-dport 1194 -j ACCEPT
-.LP
-This will allow incoming packets on UDP port 1194 (OpenVPN's default UDP port)
-from an OpenVPN peer at 1.2.3.4.
-
-If you are using HMAC-based packet authentication (the default in any of
-OpenVPN's secure modes), having the firewall filter on source
-address can be considered optional, since HMAC packet authentication
-is a much more secure method of verifying the authenticity of
-a packet source. In that case:
-.IP
-.B iptables -A INPUT -p udp \-\-dport 1194 -j ACCEPT
-.LP
-would be adequate and would not render the host inflexible with
-respect to its peer having a dynamic IP address.
-
-OpenVPN also works well on stateful firewalls. In some cases, you may
-not need to add any static rules to the firewall list if you are
-using a stateful firewall that knows how to track UDP connections.
-If you specify
-.B \-\-ping n,
-OpenVPN will be guaranteed
-to send a packet to its peer at least once every
-.B n
-seconds. If
-.B n
-is less than the stateful firewall connection timeout, you can
-maintain an OpenVPN connection indefinitely without explicit
-firewall rules.
-
-You should also add firewall rules to allow incoming IP traffic on
-TUN or TAP devices such as:
-.IP
-.B iptables -A INPUT -i tun+ -j ACCEPT
-.LP
-to allow input packets from tun devices,
-.IP
-.B iptables -A FORWARD -i tun+ -j ACCEPT
-.LP
-to allow input packets from tun devices to be forwarded to
-other hosts on the local network,
-.IP
-.B iptables -A INPUT -i tap+ -j ACCEPT
-.LP
-to allow input packets from tap devices, and
-.IP
-.B iptables -A FORWARD -i tap+ -j ACCEPT
-.LP
-to allow input packets from tap devices to be forwarded to
-other hosts on the local network.
-
-These rules are secure if you use packet authentication,
-since no incoming packets will arrive on a TUN or TAP
-virtual device
-unless they first pass an HMAC authentication test.
