<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Greetings Everyone,<br><br></div>Please join us February 10 for a talk on OpenVPN. <br><br></div>After last months meeting and discussion about home networks, one of the common topics that came up during and after the talks were of remote access. In the course of talking with people it was found that not everyone wants to use ssh port forwarding to a machine back home, setting local proxy settings for apps and the OS, and other such things to gain secure access to their home networks.<br><br></div>Over the last month I've taken the time to set up an OpenVPN server on my home network and put together a slide presentation on various steps I took, issues I encountered and overcame, and will discuss some of the benefits to using a VPN in various situations. While the talk is focused on using OpenVPN in a home environment, the topic will be applicable to utilizing it in small businesses and with providers on the internet. <br><br></div>What this talk will not cover is the maths behind the encryption technology; it will be called magic and just assumed to work as expected. If you have a specific question[s] you would like me to [try to] address during my talk, please feel free to send me an email directly or reply to this post.<br><div><div><div><div><div><br>The
meeting will take place at OmniTI, located in Fulton, MD. The ddress is
