I read a whole book on OpenVPN, but still can't figure how to
configure the server + client so that the the client connects and
sends SIP/RTP data through the tunnel.
To get started, I'd rather use a shared key instead of X509
(certificates + keys). The server is running on a uClinux appliance,
with /dev/net/tun, and OpenVPN is 2.0.9. The clients will be Windows
hosts connecting through Ethernet in hotels or public wifi hotspots.
I use OpenVPN to pass both IAX2 trunking and SIP for a softphone on a
laptop. Works very well.
If the OpenVPN server is on a uClinux appliance, my first question is
does the * server know how to route to the OpenVPN client address? If
the appliance is not the default gateway for the server, a route to the
OpenVPN client via the uClinux appliance address needs to be added.
Since the client is Windows, you do have to start the client (GUI) as
'Administrator' otherwise the routing table does not get updated and the
client cannot route to the server network.
