Just wanted to say thanks for OpenVPN and very, very well done!

I set up OpenVPN on Slackware 9 Linux boxes (old P166s, no less) on each
end using the Linux Tap devices and ethernet bridging.  There was no
need for different subnets at all on each end.   All the hosts have
192.168.0.x addresses on the lan side(s). Also, the remote DSL ip
address changed right after I got this working and I got to see how
smoothly OpenVPN handled it. It handled it perfectly and reestablished
the connection with the new ip address automatically. All this with free
software. Is that neat, or what?

Applications seem to be working perfectly. We especially wanted to play
Parsec ( http://openparsec.sf.net ) over this tunnel and for the last
couple of hours I've been playing Parsec with several friends of mine on
my lan at home (seven computers) in Oklahoma and several other friends
of mine on their lan in Dallas (four computers) and Parsec and OpenVPN rock!

Also, Samba works great, as does LinNeighborhood, ssh, sftp, and
everything else I've thrown through this tunnel.

Just had to share this, for those of you who might want to play games or
administer remote lans over the net. OpenVPN is a *good thing*!


Cheers -

Chuck Bell
