I'm on a Pineapple Nano Linux version 3.18.36 (openwrt@19a38d794f6d) (gcc version 4.8.3 (OpenWrt/Linaro GCC 4.8-2014.04 r49403) )

Trying to set up my nano as a travel router that connects to the VPN on my router. Followed the steps for the client but a few things have changed since this first posted. Instead the opkg openvpn now has options for openvpn : collectd-mod-openvpn - 5.4.2-1 - OpenVPN traffic/compression input plugin openvpn-easy-rsa - 2013-01-30-2 - Simple shell scripts to manage a Certificate Authority openvpn-nossl - 2.3.6-5 - Open source VPN solution using plaintext (no SSL) openvpn-openssl - 2.3.6-5 - Open source VPN solution using OpenSSL openvpn-polarssl - 2.3.6-5 - Open source VPN solution using PolarSSL I installed openvpn-openssl and edited the config file but when I went to: openvpn --config /etc/config/openvpn --daemon I got a: Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in /etc/config/openvpn:1: package (2.3.6) Use --help for more information. Sadly, openvpn --help I get: "Usage message not available" Did something change since this post or am I missing something?

I watched Hak5 1818 and 1819 a few weeks ago thinking it was the current Hak5 and I became obsessed. Being a noob, I immediately proceeded to build a home lab on a nuC6i7KYK, maxed ram and a 250gb drive. It took me about a week to brute force my education on XenServer and Xen Orchestra. I've got them both up and am running a few VM's. This is when I realized I have this awesome piece of hardware running a headless server. This is where I need some advice: Is it possible to build a front end on the nuc so I can utilize it as a daily desktop while keeping XenServer running under the hood or do I need to install a distro first then run XenServer on top? Don't get me wrong running a VM through console is pretty cool, it just I feel a little stupid buying a 4k monitor to look at XenServer's customize System menu.
