Vpn

I have an ubuntu 9.1 system setup with ftp,apache and all that good stuff, but how can i add a vpn to it, and use my domain name as the way to connect to it over the internet, like i do with ftp?

 

I use OpenVPN (www.openvpn.net). Its pretty good, easy to setup and stable.

thanks, ill give this a look and let you know how it goes

 

This one is for centos, but you can get an idea of it:

http://www.howtoforge.com/openvpn-server-on-centos-5.2

 

im following that guide and i get down to the part
yum install -y nail and it says no package named nail found

any ideas

 

strange, because i run ubuntu here as well and:

Code:

mark@mark-desktop:~$ aptitude search nail
...
p   nail                            - feature-rich BSD mail(1)                  
..

 

when I run aptitude search nail

it gives me this

p ffmpegthumbnailer - fast and lightweight video thumbnailer
p games-thumbnails - thumbnails of games in Debian
p gnome-exe-thumbnailer - Wine .exe and other executable thumbnailer
p gnome-nds-thumbnailer - Nintendo DS roms thumbnailer for GNOME

p libhildon-thumbnail0 - Thumbnail library - runtime files
p libhildon-thumbnail0-dbg - Thumbnail library - debug symbols

i nail - feature-rich BSD mail(1)
p ooo-thumbnailer - thumbnailer for OpenOffice.org documents
p thunar-thumbnailers - thumbnailers for Thunar file manager

 

remember the how-to is made for centos, so not all commands will work .. you need to change them for your ditro. if you run ubuntu, you can't use yum, use apt-get

so you would get: apt-get install nail

but i can see it's already installed. so you can continue the how-to

 

i kinda had that fealing and did an apt-get for it, but when i run
nail -s “Keys" -a keys.zip [email protected]

substituting the me@mydomain for my values it just sits their and the terminal will not allow me to execute anymore commands
