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. |
