Is it possible to config the Gentoo using OpenVPN and the Windows Client is no need to install any addition software to connect to it?
I mean
Server: Gentoo Linux + OpenVPN
Client: Windows XP + Default VPN Client in Windows XP
Thanks,
Marquis |

No,
Openvpn is an SSL vpn and can only connect with other openvpn clients/servers. The vpn client on Windows is PPTP/IPSEC and can only connect to other similar pptp servers.
You may be able to do what you require using openswan but I've never tried so I'm not sure |

That's a rhetorical question.
There are always chances.

Probably better to use openSwan.
That's "real" VPN. |
