Re: SSL VPN

Just wondering, is the client export actually tied to the logged in user, or can every user download all other VPN profiles (which hopefully are of little use as credentials are likely unknown)? It used to be that way, would be nice if it is tied to just the logged in user.

Cheers,

Jasper

With the client config generator package, "openvpn-client-export", installed, this is imho the best option for an end-user VPN. pfSense has a much nicer UI than OpenVPN AS, and that UI also supports other things you might need (like routing protocols via bird or quagga, managing the firewall, etc) as well. I can't see any reason to pay money for OpenVPN AS when you compare it to what you get for free with pfSense.  The NetGate pfSense appliances are quite nicely spec'd, too, if you just have cash burning a hole in your pocket.  It also easily ties in OpenVPN authentication to RADIUS or LDAP, and getting it working with Active Directory on the backend is trivially simple.
