Thanks Kevin.. I will make these changes. Now how do I create they Keys or User that will connect to my VPN server?<br><br>Also do I need any routing changes as well.. I have used openvpn and there I had to make some change in Ip Tables to route request from VPN server to the server in the local network. Something similar here?<br>
