Hi Sameer Here in Nicaragua at Fundación Zamora Terán, we are using openVPN on XS in client mode, and the openVPN Server is on the main office on a Centos 5.7 server, because on some school we have a 3G Modem Connection behind a proxy server at ISP, with the VPN tunnel, we can access on to XS by ssh and put content, monitoring the XS with Nagios.
And also we redirect the all dns queries on this way: 1. XO(172.18.96.1) 2. XS(172.18.0.1)-(10.8.0.11) 3. openVPNServer(10.8.0.1) 4. openDNS(208.67.222.222) For now that is the way that we use openVPN with XS.
