hi, does anybody has vpn running with current FreeBSD 5 ? i need to setup a freebsd 5 server on a static ip with vpn running, so the windows clients all in the world with dynamic ip cann connect to my server. i will be lucky if somebody has a running system and configuration. playing a little bit with openvpn does not have the results i need. Server: FreeBSD 5 / static internet IP / static internal ip Clients: windows2000 and XP with dynamic ip regards Stefan

The configuration is fairly straightforward, and the client is built in all versions of windows since 98. Patrick.
