Defend your network and privacy : VPN gateway with OpenBSD
Hello,
People here helped me get started installing 5.5 current to have my NIC operational. Now I have published an article explaining how I set up my VPN gateway with OpenBSD : http://networkfilter.blogspot.com/20...ivacy-vpn.html In case it could be useful to someone Regards, Guillaume. |

PolarSSL has already been integrated with OpenVPN and its options -- ciphers, key management -- may be more apropos to integration with non-OpenBSD platforms.
However, that is entirely conjecture. I have not seen any traffic regarding this on ports@ or misc@ or tech@, and I haven't used OpenVPN in more than 15 years. For more than guesses, you might ask Stuart Henderson. He's the developer doing the work, according to the log. |

Thanks for sharing the ideas, gkbsd.
I started playing around with DNSCrypt yesterday and have it running now at home (on Linux). Seems to be working. I guess you could run several of these, each proxying for a different DNSCrypt resolver, and then use each one as a forwarder for your normal caching nameserver, to get some redundancy (but so far I'm just using one). I'm running it as an unprivileged user, dnscp, created for this purpose. When I do this there are two dsncrypt-proxy processes running, one as root and one as dnscp. Any idea if that's what's supposed to happen? I was also wondering about using this at public access WiFi (the proverbial "coffee shop" mentioned in README.markdown). This would be a place it is most useful. I'm not sure how well it would mesh with the hotspot start-up procedures sometimes though. Has anyone had any problems with that? Anyway, nice to try out something that may improve on the status quo. |

About using a VPN + DNScrypt on a public place using Wifi, if it's to protect your laptop yes it would definitely be useful. Regards, Guillaume. |
