I'm trying to setup up a multi-wan (multi-port) router with WAP capabilities.
Completed
My problem is with the incomplete portion of my task. *I don't know how to get access to the port/package collection! I think it may be on the install50.iso CD but alias how do I install what is needed? *Only myself would have access to the router. I thought webmin (unless there is some other freeware out there that can do better) would do a great job. Alias all I read is security problems with webmin!! So what do I do? * If I have to download webmin (unless other). I could download it on my windows 7 computer to a usb flash drive but how do I install the package/port then on the openbsd machine? |

Section 15 of the project's official FAQ gives a solid overview of the packages/ports system. The number of available packages are too many to put on the downloadable ISO images, but the FAQ will point you towards the list of accessible mirror sites. Quote:

If I could, will that possibly be via an utility such as "VNC"? I'm still trying to get my head around VNC. That includes how to install and or use it!! If not via utility such as VNC, which do u recommend? I'm coming from a GUI environment so anything close to that l wouldn't mind if not then sadly no problem. As for me if l dare to say, remote is a must. |

OpenSSH is the tool of choice to use for remote shell access, remote file transfers, remote command execution, and the tunneling of network connections for security. It has many different capabilities.
For remote commands and file transfers, start with the man pages for the client tools: ssh(1), sftp(1), scp(1). See the man page for the server daemon sshd(8), and you will also want to review the man pages for the configuration files, config_sshd(5) and config_ssh(5). Michael W. Lucas has just published a book, SSH Mastery. See www.openbsd.org/books.html for more information. |

http://openports.se/search.php?so=vnc Wikipedia has a generalized article on VNC here. As for other options, there is the SSH protocol. OpenSSH (ssh(1)) is part of OpenBSD's base installation. SSH clients can be found on virtually operating systems including Windows (PuTTY). VPN (Virtual Private Network) solutions also exist. OpenVPN has been ported to OpenBSD: http://openports.se/net/openvpn OpenVPN is also an application which has been ported to other Unix-like operating systems. You will also find several books available on use/configuration. Wikipedia also has an article here. IPsec is also part of OpenBSD's base installation. A number of manpages will need to be studied; starting at ipsec(4) is a good beginning. Configuring IPsec is perhaps more challenging than OpenVPN, but IPsec (as a protocol) is integrated into OpenBSD's kernel. OpenVPN is a userland third-party application. Wikipedia has an article on IPsec here. One of the values of VPN solutions is that this addresses "road warriors" who may be connecting to servers from any IP address. With SSH, you will need to decide how port 22 (or whatever port you choose to use...) will be exposed to the Internet. Quote:

I would also suggest using ssh/sshd for remote access. I mean, what would the typical VNC usage be? VNC in, and then open a terminal to to the admin tasks? If thats the case, you might aswell just stick with ssh/sshd.

Alright I installed putty-0.62-installer.exe but is openssh enabled by default? I understand it may be install in the base installation but is it enabled? vpn protocol I installed securepointsslvpn_rc4.exe but is openvpn enabled by default? IPsec Am lost, how do l use this to remotely configure the openbsd server? Is this enabled in the base installation? |

In general, we do not recommend documentation found on the Internet which was not published by the OpenBSD project. Frequently, it is out of date, incorrect, or incomplete. However, since you are still wrapping your head around IPsec, the following may give you some perspective: http://www.kernel-panic.it/openbsd/vpn/ Yet, note that this document was written for OpenBSD 4.6. It is not guaranteed to work with OpenBSD 5.0. My recommendation is to read the article, followed by reading the manpages installed on OpenBSD 5.0. Again, ipsec(4) is a good beginning point. Just to clarify, my previous message mentioned two separate technologies for remote access:
