    Did you try out the OpenVPN wizard in Pfsense?
    I had mine working in minutes.

    I need to set up. Thanks for reminding me. I paid for a year of service
    from Private Internet Access ($40!) and am using it on my personal machine.

    I should do that this weekend. It's not hard. I could add access for
    Andrew so he can look at the BBS if needed also.

    I can't remember but I think it also automatically creates the inbound rule.

    It does all of the heavy lifting for you.

    I'm just not entirely sold on the idea by some techs that one "should have" a Pfsense appliance as opposed to having it run on a typical name brand
    off the shelf server system or a decent high-end workstation.

    if anything, a lot of those devices are under-powered. or have no upgrade
    path (just throw 2.5G or 10Gbit NICs in and boom, commodity PC wins).

    then again, i have friends who have (albeit older) juniper routers and other pro gear and they think all of this stuff is silly.

    i guess if the appliance saves electricity.. maybe? but i tend to have a linux machine on all the time here anyways so it's basically a wash
