+*************************************************************************
+
+SUPPORTED PLATFORMS:
+ (1) Linux (kernel 2.6+)
+ (2) Solaris
+ (3) OpenBSD 5.1+
+ (4) Mac OS X Darwin 10.5+
+ (5) FreeBSD 7.4+
+ (6) NetBSD 5.0+
+ (7) Windows (WinXP and higher)
+
+SUPPORTED PROCESSOR ARCHITECTURES:
+ In general, OpenVPN is word size and endian independent, so
+ most processors should be supported. Architectures known to
+ work include Intel x86, Alpha, Sparc, Amd64, and ARM.
+
+REQUIRES:
+ (1) TUN and/or TAP driver to allow user-space programs to control
+ a virtual point-to-point IP or Ethernet device. See
+ TUN/TAP Driver Configuration section below for more info.
+
+OPTIONAL (but recommended):
+ (1) OpenSSL library, necessary for encryption, version 0.9.8 or higher
+ required, available from http://www.openssl.org/
+ (2) PolarSSL library, an alternative for encryption, version 1.1 or higher
+ required, available from https://polarssl.org/
+ (3) LZO real-time compression library, required for link compression,
+ available from http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/
+ OpenBSD users can use ports or packages to install lzo, but remember
+ to add CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"
+ directives to "configure", since gcc will not find them otherwise.
+
+OPTIONAL (for developers only):
+ (1) Autoconf 2.59 or higher + Automake 1.9 or higher
+ -- available from http://www.gnu.org/software/software.html
+ (2) Dmalloc library
+ -- available from http://dmalloc.com/
+ (3) If using t_client.sh test framework, fping/fping6 is needed
+ -- Available from http://www.fping.org/
+ Note: t_client.sh needs an external configured OpenVPN server.
+ See t_client.rc-sample for more info.

+*************************************************************************
+
+BUILDING ON LINUX 2.6+ FROM RPM
+
+You can build a binary RPM directly from the OpenVPN tarball file:
+
+ rpmbuild -tb [tarball]
+
+This command will build a binary RPM file and place it in the system
+RPM directory. You can then install the RPM with the standard RPM
+install command:
+
+ rpm -ivh [binary-rpm]
+
+When you install the binary RPM, it will install
+sample-scripts/openvpn.init, which can be used to
+automatically start or stop one or more OpenVPN tunnels on system
+startup or shutdown, based on OpenVPN .conf files in /etc/openvpn.
+See the comments in openvpn.init for more information.
+
+Installing the RPM will also configure the TUN/TAP device node
+for linux 2.6.
+
+Note that the current openvpn.spec file, which instructs the rpm tool
+how to build a package, will build OpenVPN with all options enabled,
+including OpenSSL, LZO, and pthread linkage. Therefore all of
+these packages will need to be present prior to the RPM build, unless
+you edit the openvpn.spec file.
+
+*************************************************************************
+
+TUN/TAP Driver Configuration:
+
+* Linux 2.6 or higher (with integrated TUN/TAP driver):
+
+ (1) load driver: modprobe tun
+ (2) enable routing: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
+
+ Note that (1) needs to be done once per reboot. If you install from RPM (see
+ above) and use the openvpn.init script, these steps are taken care of for you.
+
+* FreeBSD:
+
+ FreeBSD ships with the TUN/TAP driver, and the device nodes for tap0,
+ tap1, tap2, tap3, tun0, tun1, tun2 and tun3 are made by default.
+ However, only the TUN driver is linked into the GENERIC kernel.
+
+ To load the TAP driver, enter:
+
+ kldload if_tap
+
+ See man rc(8) to find out how you can do this at boot time.
+
+ The easiest way is to install OpenVPN from the FreeBSD ports system,
+ the port includes a sample script to automatically load the TAP driver
+ at boot-up time.
+
+* OpenBSD:
+
+ OpenBSD has dynamically created tun* devices so you only need
+ to create an empty /etc/hostname.tun0 (tun1, tun2 and so on) for each tun
+ you plan to use to create the device(s) at boot.
+
+* Solaris:
+
+ You need a TUN/TAP kernel driver for OpenVPN to work:
+
+ http://www.whiteboard.ne.jp/~admin2/tuntap/
+
+* Windows XP/2003/Vista/7:
+
+ OpenVPN on Windows needs a TUN/TAP kernel driver to work. OpenVPN installers
+ include this driver, so installing it separately is not usually required.
+ The driver source code is available here:
+
+ https://github.com/OpenVPN/tap-windows
+
+*************************************************************************
+
+CAVEATS & BUGS:
+
+* I have noticed cases where TCP sessions tunneled over the Linux
+ TAP driver (kernel 2.4.21 and 2.4.22) stall when lower --mssfix
+ values are used. The TCP sessions appear to unstall and resume
+ normally when the remote VPN endpoint is pinged.
+
+* If run through a firewall using OpenBSDs packet filter PF and the
+ filter rules include a "scrub" directive, you may get problems talking
+ to Linux hosts over the tunnel, since the scrubbing will kill packets
+ sent from Linux hosts if they are fragmented. This is usually seen as
+ tunnels where small packets and pings get through but large packets
+ and "regular traffic" don't. To circumvent this, add "no-df" to
+ the scrub directive so that the packet filter will let fragments with
+ the "dont fragment"-flag set through anyway.
+
+* Mixing OFB or CFB cipher modes with static key mode is not recommended,
+ and is flagged as an error on OpenVPN versions 1.2.1 and greater.
+ If you use the --cipher option to explicitly select an OFB or CFB
+ cipher AND you are using static key mode, it is possible that there
+ could be an IV collision if the OpenVPN daemons on both sides
+ of the connection are started at exactly the same time, since
+ OpenVPN uses a timestamp combined with a sequence number as the cipher
+ IV for OFB and CFB modes. This is not an issue if you are
+ using CBC cipher mode (the default), or if you are using OFB or CFB
+ cipher mode with SSL/TLS authentication.
