Currently, OpenVPN is only supported in server-mode, via rc.conf OVPN_* variables or the web interface. With enough user demand for OpenVPN client-mode, it could be implemented by either: 1) Extend the current openvpn definition/instance to be either client or server. 2) Create a new openvpn client definition/instance (openvpnclient) that acts as a separate openvpn client, using OVPNC_* variables. It is possible, currently, to define your own /mnt/kd/openvpn/ openvpn.conf file configured as a client, superseding the OVPN_* rc.conf variables. If this file exists, the web interface will prompt the user to edit the file instead of showing the OpenVPN sub-tab. I know Darrick has a lot of experience with this, so I look forward to his comments.
