Okay, thanks. I tried PPTP and ran into a problem... I got it to work from
my iPhone over AT&T, but from my MacBook through my office WiFi it failed.
Also failed if my iPhone was connected to my office WiFi. I suspect that
the firewall here is blocking PPTP.
That means I have to look at OpenVPN, but I find the settings confusing,
appears to be more than just enabling a userid/password, looks like I have
to use a certificate. Are there instructions anywhere for how to set this
up? Just enabling the OpenVPN server on Astlinux did not work...
Oct 6 14:27:40 pbx daemon.err openvpn[21714]: Options error:
Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in /etc/openvpn.conf:2:
dev (2.2.1)
Oct 6 14:27:40 pbx daemon.warn openvpn[21714]: Use --help for more information.
Thanks,
David
