Try pinging, connecting to services, etc to verify. Test Config Files: Office$ sudo openvpn2 /etc/openvpn2/nf Home$ sudo openvpn2 /etc/openvpn2/nf On Home, create /etc/openvpn2/nf as follows: dev tunįloat VII. Replace with the public hostname or IP address of Home. On Office, save the following as /etc/openvpn2/nf: dev tun If you'd like to create config files and/or make your tunnel survive rebooting, read on. If you only need the occasional tunnel, feel free to stop here - just leave the Terminal windows open and the tunnel will persist until it is terminated (by rebooting, quitting Terminal, etc).

You can test with ping again, or connect to services (like File Sharing) on the remote Mac. Encrypted Tunnel Test Office$ sudo openvpn2 -remote -dev tun0 -ifconfig 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 -secret /etc/openvpn2/static.key -comp-lzo -keepalive 10 60 -float Home$ sudo openvpn2 -dev tun0 -ifconfig 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.1 -secret /etc/openvpn2/static.key -comp-lzo -keepalive 10 60 -floatĪs before, replace with Home's public address. Generate and Copy Static Keyįrom either computer, generate a static key: $ openvpn2 -genkey -secret static.key $ sudo mkdir /etc/openvpn2 $ sudo mv static.key /etc/openvpn2/Ĭopy /etc/openvpn2/static.key to the other computer via a secure channel (as anyone with this file can access your VPN) and put it in the same directory, i.e., /etc/openvpn2. When finished testing, CTRL C to stop the tunnel. Try pinging Office from Home and vice versa: Home$ ping 10.0.0.1 Office$ ping 10.0.0.2 Also, if you receive a "command not found" error, use the complete path to openvpn2 instead: sudo /opt/local/sbin/openvpn2. Replace with Home's public hostname or IP address. Now we'll make a quick, unencrypted connection to test our setup: Office$ sudo openvpn2 -remote -dev tun0 -ifconfig 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 Home$ sudo openvpn2 -dev tun0 -ifconfig 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.1

Install openvpn2: sudo port install openvpn2.

(use the full path to port if you receive "command not found" in this or the next step: sudo /opt/local/bin/port )

Update DarwinPorts: sudo port -d selfupdate.Install DarwinPorts if you haven't already.The only two addresses you need to know are Home's (for setting up port forwarding) and the public address for Home's router (which you will specify in nf). IP addresses and domains appearing in italics will likely differ on your networks.
