I already have a cheap box

it's the firewall running IPCop. So I could put OpenVPN on it. I just have to tell IPCop to accept traffic on the appropriate ports (5000+ that I use). Is that right? It's still not clear to me that having OpenVPN on the same machine as the firewall is a good idea. FedoraNews has an [link|http://fedoranews.org/contributors/florin_andrei/openvpn/|article] that shows it set up that way though.

Have fun,

I'm not sure how that would work.

...since OpenVPN acts more like a network switch than a VPN, it would tend to "take over" most packets bouncing across its internal NIC, I think. Hm. I'm not enough of an IP guru to know if that would work or not. Try it and let us know? <:)
