I did indeed look at this site.
Unfortunately I did not see anything that could be called a good tutorial.
I found the whole site rather muddled,
and far too full of self-praise about openvpn.
The OpenVPN Quickstart starts with a discussion
of the advantages and disadvantages of a Static Key
without ever explaining what a Static Key is.
The OpenVPN 2.0 HOWTO starts with a discussion
"whether to use a routed or bridged VPN",
again with no explanation of what the difference is.
A Fedora OpenVPN HOWTO would be very useful, I think.
I suggested to Miles Brennan that a chapter on openvpn
would make a good addition to his Linux Home Server HOWTO.
