> Are you trying to just create an encrypted tunnel between the two Astlinux boxes for inter-server communication, or are you trying to route traffic across it as well? Are there certain networks you do/don't want to route traffic across?
Connect two (well, four) subnets. We have a head office and three satellite offices, so this solution would allow clients at the remote sites to access central services and allow the central site to back up to the remote sites. > I have set this up in the past, and it is fairly simple and straightforward. It's actually easier in some ways to do it manually (ie: not through the GUI). It's been a while since I did it though, so I don't remember the precise "step-by-step" instructions. This is what I need - step-by-step. > I thought there was a How-To guide on the docs.astlinux.com site, but I couldn't find it when I just briefly looked. Ditto. I've found an old thread on this list, but it is far from an idiot's guide. Given my performance so far, an idiot's guide is plainly what I need. > How did you brick the server? That shouldn't have happened. I wish I knew. At the server end, I created cert/key and saved some initial (largely default) settings. Hit save, and the box disappeared. I will have to hook up a serial cable on Monday when I am back in the office.

I'd prefer OpenVPN. I need to know what to do (with no shorthand) on both server and client ends. While I have some knowledge of VPN (IPSEC, L2TP, and OpenVPN), it's very amateur, and gleaned from GUI front ends to systems. I've had a go at starting to config the server end with no prior knowledge, and have bricked a remote box in the process. Hence this request.
