Ubuntu Network Manager and openvpn

November 8, 2007

This worked perfectly with my Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon laptop. I installed the network-manager-openvpn package. I used the file I created from the openvpn ipcop page, and pulled the necessary files out of the .p12 file.

cd <path to .p12 file>
sudo su
aptitude install network-manager-openvpn
openssl pkcs12 -nocerts -in default.p12 -out userkey.pem
openssl pkcs12 -nokeys -clcerts -in default.p12 -out usercert.pem
openssl pkcs12 -nokeys -cacerts -in default.p12 -out userca.pem

OpenVPN tunnel with OSX and IPCop

November 8, 2007

IPCop with a plugin from Zerina and OSX software client Tunnelblick. Tunnelblick 3.0B4 works well with ZERINA-0.9.7a10. Note: the newer version of Tunnelblick would crash on a G3 iBook running Mac OS X v 10.4.1.

I followed the directions at this site and it worked easily.
