I everyone. I'd like to have some testers for the next release of smeserver-openvpn-bridge. I'm using it on my server, but I'd like to be sure everything is OK on different configurations. If I don't have any bug report in one week, I'll announce it officially.
There won't be many new features (but one interesting one: possibility to download a zip archive with the needed files, cert, keys config file etc...). The biggest work on this release was to make it cleaner:
- everything is performed with signal-event (sign a new cert, revoke it, generate the dh params etc...)
- the daemon is supervised
- the bridge is permanent, not just created at openvpn startup and destroyed when it stops. This should correct the bug of dhcpd and another when you shut down your server and it complains about br0.
If you want to try:
wget http://sme.firewall-services.com/downloads/smeserver-openvpn/rpms-beta/smeserver-openvpn-bridge.fws-1.1-3.noarch.rpm
yum localinstall smeserver-openvpn-bridge.fws-1.1-3.noarch.rpm
/etc/init.d/openvpn stop
Then go to the panel in the server-manager, check the config, and click on the apply link.
I'd also like some people to test the newer openvpn (2.0.9) from dag repository:
db yum_repositories set dag repository BaseURL 'http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/$basearch/dag' EnableGroups no GPGCheck yes GPGKey http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt Name 'Dag - EL4' Visible no Exclude freetype,htop,iptraf,rsync,syslinux status disabled
expand-template /etc/yum.conf
yum --enablerepo=dag update openvpn
For me it's working, so it shouldn't be too risky.
