openvpn

[Bruce Ferrell]

Doug,

I use a pfsense firewall with an openvpn server installed.  I connect from Android, iOS, OS X, Windows and Linux.  The vpn connection use a separate subnet from my "normal" subnet 
and simply routed in.  No port forwarding needed that way.  Because the pfsense firewall is the default route, all server automatically are able to reach the vpn subnet because all 
non-lan traffic goes there and is then directed as needed.

Openvpn appears to be the best approach as there is a client available for ios which is what I carry.  There is duplication of port usage on multiple servers so just  port routing in the router is not viable.

However, there are a number of sample configuration files provided and I can't figure out which is the best one for me to use.  My first thought was server.conf, but then tls-office.conf or static-office.conf also look reasonable.
