OpenVPN can certainly do this. To get the vpn clients on the same subnet as your LAN, you'd want to do bridging. Personally I use OpenVPN in routing mode and have a separate subnet that the vpn clients live on. The OpenVPN server process then routes between, so while I'm not on the same subnet as the machines I'm trying to reach, I can reach them. This mode of VPN doesn't allow things like multicast DNS to work, since that has to be on a single subnet. If you need that you have to go for the bridge mode. -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
