Multi site OpenVPN

Post by Bicka »

Please forgive me if this is covered already but I have a question.

We have 12 fixed sites with servers and approximately 40 roaming clients (laptops, phones etc).

Currently we have cisco routers that allow 10VPN connections at the sites and 50VPN connections at the head office.

Currently they all connect to the head office site and some sites connect to each other, but not all as we would need N-1 VPN tunnels which is more than we have.

Is it possible to purchase and configure OpenVPN to be able to connect all of these clients together directly without traffic routing via head office?

I can upload a picture if if helps visualise.

Often traffic with flow between sites site<-->site and from:
HO<-->site (multiple sites)

I would like to install the client app on the laptops to enable an easy way to connect to the HO VPN, which should then allow peering to the fixed sites.

I would be happy to help write a guide for the documentation area of this website for multipoint OpenVPN or multi site (whatever the terminology is.
