OpenVPN client

Post by lollapalooza »

Hello,
I've got a router, in my parent's house, which supports OpenVPN server (CA certificate, client certificate, client key, config file. No password).

As you can imagine this is very useful, because I can connect to the LAN and help my father when there's something wrong :-)

I'd like to use Gargoyle's OpenVPN feature in order to create something like a site-to-site VPN between my place and my parent's.

Unfortunately when I upload the config file to Gargoyle, it seems not to be compatible with TAP adapters...

Is there a workaround for that?

Here follows OpenVPN (on Windows) config file:
client
dev tap
proto udp
dev-node NETGEAR-VPN
remote XXXXXXXXX.mynetgear.com 12974
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert client.crt
key client.key
cipher AES-128-CBC
comp-lzo
verb 5

Thanks in advance

Unfortunately not.
And unfortunately I can't install Gargoyle (not even DD-WRT) on my father's router... it's a Netgear D7800.
