Mount a Linux home dir on a Mac via OpenVPN
Authored by: gunkmail on Aug 08, '06 01:22:05PM

Why only a Linux home drive?

I use the OpenVPN plugin on my IPCop firewall. It allows for a full network connection to my home network. There is also a redirect gateway setting which will secure all communications through your home network, perfect for Wi-Fi hotspots. The plugin simplifies all the certificate creation and configuration.

I also use tunnelbick as my openVPN gui on the powerbook. It works great, is reliable and secure, lightweight. My vote is for OVPN over Hamachi due to the Open Source nature of it. You can also get GUI's for Linux and Windows.

I am able to connect itunes sharing with MT-Daapd, Remote Desktops, file share on Windows and Linux servers, ssh to any server behind my firewall. Never really thought of this as a hint as most people who are running a Linux server at home have some idea of what they are trying to do.
