Description:
OpenVPN is a robust, scalable and highly configurable VPN (Virtual Private Network) daemon which can be used to securely link two or more private networks using an encrypted tunnel over the internet. It can operate over UDP or TCP, can use SSL or a pre-shared secret to authenticate peers, and in SSL mode, one server can handle many clients.

For install:
Edit /etc/rc.conf[.local] to start OpenVPN automatically at system startup. See /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openvpn for details. Connect to VPN server as a client with this command to include the client.up/down scripts in the initialization: openvpn-client <spec>.ovpn For compatibility notes when interoperating with older OpenVPN versions, please see <http://openvpn.net/relnotes.html> Note that OpenVPN does not officially support LibreSSL. Note that OpenVPN configures a separate user and group "openvpn", which should be used instead of the NFS user "nobody" when an unprivileged user account is desired. You may want to add user openvpn and group openvpn when creating your configuration files, the example configuration shows this only as comments.
If upgrading
Note that OpenVPN now configures a separate user and group "openvpn", which should be used instead of the NFS user "nobody" when an unprivileged user account is desired. It is advisable to review existing configuration files and to consider adding/changing user openvpn and group openvpn.
