Hello 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. By any chance, would someone have a working configuration so I can take a look?
I have had OpenVPN and Asterisk running together, with both Linux and Windows clients for about 2 years now. As the others have already pointed out - you really should sort out your OpenVPN setup first and basic connectivity first between client and server - before starting to wonder what is happening on the Asterisk side of things.
I'm not sure what book you read on OpenVPN - but if you read carefully and follow the step by step instructions on OpenVPN.net (under Community Edition) - you shouldn't have too much trouble getting a basic, certificates based connection working.
I am a subscriber to the openvpn users mailing list as well - and if you follow the steps and still get stuck - feel free to post there what you've done so far and what is not working - and I'm sure people will be happy to point you in the right direction.
Incidently - I use QuteCom (qutecom.org) and X-lite on Windows, and Linphone, Twinkle and Ekiga on Linux as clients - if it helps.
