Hello Pierre,
OpenVPN is a bit of a beast in regards to configuration options. Like
you said, it has a bunch of knobs to tune and that can get
overwhelming. While OpenVPN is here to stay, there's a newer addition
to the VPN protocol family called WireGuard which recently made its way
into the Linux kernel. WireGuard aims to be simple and
cryptographically sound without worrying about extra features like
OpenVPN does - and therefore is quite easy to configure.
There's a simple demo on their website that should get you started:
https://www.wireguard.com/quickstart/
Feel free to reach out off list too if you need any specific pointers,
I'd be happy to help.
Cheers,
Nate Sales

Hi, me again with an OT kind of topic.
I have been pretty happy with the way the vps at vultr and the bgp
announce been doing, this did not missed a beat since it been fix,
again thanks to every one that helped.
Now I need a push in the right direction for OpenVpn.
Went on the openvpn forum, asked a noob question, got shamed post by
a prick, waited for someone else to try to help me. Now I am asking
the ham community for help.
I have seen many tutorial/video/explanation and how to's for
OpenVpn. Most are tutorial where, you start a script, enter some
magic numbers its start installing package after package and it
start working. Youhou! NOT!
That ain't the kind of stuff I am looking for. If I want to support
the server and be able to debug it in case it fail I need to know
where and how all this works.
Let me tell you my goal. I will have multiple site that will connect
to the vpn server. on those site Multiple machine will need a 44net
address. some will have fix address but I want to also have some
assigned by dhcp.
Now I could also have some simple client that will connect and those
will have dhcp address.
How do I manage that into OpenVpn. Does the dhcp vs fix address is
managed by the OpenVpn config?
Or does I need to have a local dhcp server at the site (the router
that will connect as the client)
will I have to do some bridging between my site (client to client
communication)?
And finally is there a real good how to that is not 300 page long, as
hard to read as the U.N. whole bylaws and treaty and that a layman
can understand somewhere& hopefully that is not a recipe that say,
add some pixi dust here, open notepad 3 time while typing "I will not
read my sister's diary in front of the whole class" Copyright the
Simpson's . 200 time, without saving the file between each opening
and closing, and hoping that it will do the job.
From a pretty tired guy of searching the answer to life.
Yeah I know its 42.
