VPN on firewall device?

2015-03-14 Thread Peter Bako
What is the general consensus on using your firewall device as a VPN host as well? Let me explain a bit more... Until recently I ran a pair of older Soekris boxes with OpenBSD on them. One was my firewall while the other was an OpenVPN host. This worked quite well, other than having to deal with

Updating AD DNS server

2009-01-06 Thread Peter Bako
I'm looking for a script that I can run on my OpenBSD boxes that would allow them to register their DHCP assigned IP addresses with my Windows 2003 DNS server. My windows boxes do this automatically and its convenient to be able to just ping them by name regardless of what IP they have been given,

Serial control of LCD display

I am trying to get a CrystalFontz 632 serial display to work with an OpenBSD box. Under Windows I can just connect the display to a com port, run Hyperterminal and send text directly to it, so I assumed that I could just send a data stream to /dev/tty00 under OpenBSD and make it work as well. Unfo

A question to the DHCP gods Within the dhcpd.conf file, if I have a defined range and then define a single host to be always assigned by MAC address and use an IP address that is normally within the DHCP range, is that number automatically excluded from the range, or do I have to make sure th

I've recently acquired a NC6000 laptop from HP, which I was going to setup with OpenBSD. My first attempt worked perfectly, had X configured and running as well as a few apps under it. However when I tried to get APM to read the battery status, it simply was not able to do so. I figured the problem
