Howdy,
My question is simple: how do I use OpenVPN to obtain an IP address in my university's IP range?
Pretty much everything I found on the web seems to relate to setting up OpenVPN servers on FreeBSD but that's much more than I need (or want at this point). I simply need OpenVPN to act as a client to an existing server. There is a howto (in Dutch) on one of the university's webpages but it assumes you're using Ubuntu with this NetworkManager thingy so it's not of much help to me.
However, I have the following data, which ought to be enough to get it working:
Getting this to work would be a BIG step forward, so any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Alphons

- server hostname/IP
- university's IP range
- a username/password
- this GTE Cybertrust Global Root certificate thingy
- additional options: a gateway port#, use TAP, use LZO, don't use TCP
Getting this to work would be a BIG step forward, so any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
