 In Tunnel Mode, nominate whether this is the Client or Server end of the tunnel. When running as a server, the
advanced console server supports multiple clients connecting to the VPN server over the same port.
 In Configuration Method, select the authentication method to be used. To authenticate using certificates select
PKI (X.509 Certificates) or select Custom Configuration to upload custom configuration files. Custom
configurations must be stored in /etc/config.
Note: If you select PKI (public key infrastructure) you will need to establish:
 Separate certificate (also known as a public key). This Certificate File will be a *.crt file type
 Private Key for the server and each client. This Private Key File will be a *.key file type
 Master Certificate Authority (CA) certificate and key which is used to sign each of the server and client
certificates. This Root CA Certificate will be a *.crt file type
For a server you may also need dh1024.pem (Diffie Hellman parameters). Refer http://openvpn.net/easyrsa.html for a
guide to basic RSA key management. For alternative authentication methods see
http://openvpn.net/index.php/documentation/howto.html#auth. For more information also see
