Hi Flip,
I now managed to install all files so that they "survive" a reboot. Also I have
been able to adjust the server.conf file of OpenVPN to the NAS requirements and
a simple startup-script is also under way. I built the required keys and
certificates on my linux box and copied them to the new configuration folder.
So far so good...
Now I have hit a problem which I cannot overcome. It seems that the kernel
module for the TUN device is missing, which is required for OpenVPN. Can you
give me a hint on how to build / get it?
Here's what I get:
root@tuxbox:/system/overlay/rc.d # ./S50OpenVPN.sh
starting OpenVPN ...
