We use OpenVPN as a VPN system. There is client software for Windows, OS-X and Linux, and it works very well from behind firewalls, especially from places like China, and hotels with cheap routers.

OpenVPN can only be enabled when our server is set to be the network manager. In most cases we do this when we install the server. We also have to add the users who want to use VPN added to the VPN security group.

Installing the software

On our servers there is a share called NETLOGON. In there is a folder called OPENVPN, and in there are installers (client software) and configuration files for both Windows and OS-X computers. You can also download the software from the OpenVPN web site.

There are some guides here for the following versions
