Hi All,

I've just posted an article about OpenVPN on the site [0]. I had this
article in the can for a while, and finalized it today. It covers
setting up an OpenVPN server on Centos 6.5 and then connecting to it via
a Fedora client. Although the notes are specific to those platforms, it
shouldn't take too much to change the instructions for Debian or Ubuntu.

For the adventurous, you could even skip all of my notes and setup an
OpenVPN server via Docker [1].

Let me know if you have any feedback. I'm particularly curious about the
key transfer mechanism (ssh), the iptables setup and the file ownership
and permission settings. If folks have other ideas, notions, comments,
ramblings [2], etc., feel free to let me know about those, as well.

Jim
