The way a typical site-to-site VPN might be implemented is to install OpenVPN on the routers, not the user machines. As far as end user machines are concerned, the VPN is just another address "on the Internet", but the actual data sent to their default gw travels via the VPN tunnel. Your main issue is just whether the IP addresses work together, but at worst case, you could use double NAT to "prioritize" one network's IPs over the other. > > On Mon, Mar 1, 2010 at 11:03 PM, Peter Santiago <[email protected]> > wrote: >> >> jan gestre wrote: >>> >>> If this is a site to site VPN tunnel then you don't have to configure >>> window >>> clients, if not then you have to set up the certificates, pretty easy, >>> also >>> if this is a road warrior setup, you need to configure your firewall in >>> such >>> a way that each client will use a different port, if not only one client >>> can >>> connect at any given time. >>> >>> On Mon, Mar 1, 2010 at 11:07 AM, Tata Dano <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> >>>> >>>> One more inquiry, is it possible to connect openvpn on windows machine >>>> without any additional installation of openvpn client?
