VPN Setup

[lostincable]

Hi all, I have been using unraid quite happily for a period of time.

 

I have sab setup on unraid and its running fine but I would like to use the giganews vpn offer on my unraid box.

 

I have scoured the forum and wiki but could not find anything really concrete on how to setup a VPN server to create a PPTP connection or Open VPN etc on the unraid box.

 

Has anyone successfully done this and if so could you point me in the right direction to set this up?

 

I don't have the luxury of using a router to setup this up as I have cable modem / router which is fairly heavily locked down from any custom setup including DD-WRT so need to do this direct from the unraid box.

 

I am also aware of the security risks associated with this as well.

 

Thanks everyone!

Anyone know if there is a package to setup an open vpn client on unraid?

I just got one of these: http://www.buy.com/pr/product.aspx?sku=220694326 It comes with DD-WRT installed.

 

Set the Buffalo up as a DMZ host and have your modem/router forward everything to the DMZ host. You can then configure a VPN as you like.

 

Edit: Or you can search for "openSSH" + "SSH Tunnel"

Have you been able to set up VPN client on your DD-WRT router? I am currently trying, and i have been unable to do so. Ive tried following the instructions on the GigaNews website to no avail!

This seems useful, I haven't done it myself though...
