Need to create a VPN Tunel

[franz.reitinger]

OpenVPN is a great project and systems like Ubuntu offer a comfortable 
installation by apt. I've adopted OpenVPN in several installation 
because Windows (also Win XP, Win7, 32/64) is supported for free. The 
configuration is rather simple & if you will use iptables for 
firewalling the OpenVPN-documentation shows same examples for a proper 
usage. However - using the routing solution (tun-device) implies to 
investigate a little bit work into the iptable-firewalling.

Basically OpenVPN can be used without license for a maximum number of 2 
users that are simultaneously connect to the VPN-Server. More details 
concerning the license model can be found here 
(http://www.openvpn.net/index.php/access-server/pricing.html). The 
pricing is rather moderate for a piece of software working without 
troubles.
