How to update openvpn appliance

While you could do the same thing on the host, creating a firewall policy increases the security further. This can be used to enhance the security further by using something like OpenDNS. The default setting is not to override the DNS settings of the client. Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly.

We just went through this very same issue. Removing this line and restarting the ntp service fixed the issue for us. Note that removing this line causes ntpd to bind to 0.

Our network ACLs prohibit external connections to this port. Prior to effecting this change running "ntpq -p" would show all peers stuck in the "INIT" state forever. We're now trying to figure out how to: a report this as a bug in the virtual appliance AMI b run a command on the EC2 instance on first boot to remove that line from the ntp.

Any tips? I have read that it's doable, but haven't yet found any step-by-step for creating a site-to-site link. I have an ESXi 5. The tutorial is a bit dated but I'm not aware of major changes to OpenVPN that would change the procedure much. If something doesn't work, just Google to see if there is a newer way to configure the options.

This tutorial discussed the pros and cons of bridging and routing. I recommend routing. If you're using Windows clients at a remote site which need to access servers at the main site across the routed network, you'll need a WINS server at the remote site.

I'd consider adding Samba on the remote vpn appliance to serve this function. I haven't used the appliance really nor followed the docs so I can't comment on how good or not they are, but probably worth a shot for starters if you haven't already had a look through Thanks for the links! I tried yesterday to update my original post with the SmallNetBuilder link and to say that I had tried those steps, but I think for my particular situation I want to set up a site-to-site link that can be expanded to more sites without me editing the routers on the additional sites, so I believe I'm going to want bridged instead of routed.

The SmallNetBuilder link compares the bridged and routed approaches, but then only gives steps for the routed approach. Perhaps this means I'll eventually have to go that route, which will mean a bit more setup and maintenance on the additional WINS server at any additional sites.

I'll look through the docs and see if I can get a bit further along. Thanks again for the pointers!
