Sparda Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 And why don't you just say plus one? Talking about encryption, so cryptic messages are required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrNaysayer Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Avid user of OpenVPN here. It is the best VPN software in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 vpn != encryption Why does does OpenVPN need you to setup public/private keys for the server and every client? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeoneE1se Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 vpn != encryption Why does does OpenVPN need you to setup public/private keys for the server and every client? authentication you can have a VPN without encryption and if you set one up incorrectly you might as well not have any at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 The point of a VPN is to have a emulated connection that gives the equivalent security as if a real physical connection had been used. A VPN with no encryption is not a VPN and it has a name, "The internet", you might have herd of it ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeoneE1se Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Not if you're not on the same subnet/need to use broadcast packets, if I'm not mistaken the routers drop them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Not if you're not on the same subnet/need to use broadcast packets, if I'm not mistaken the routers drop them. Why would you want to create a virtual network connection over the Internet that any one can monitor? That requires that who ever created it be clicked into a apparently bottomless pit because it's madness ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeoneE1se Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 why overclock a WRT54G? And if I wanted to play pax with someone over the internet I wouldn't need encryption would I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 You would because if any one 'spotted' (on the internet?) it they could inject packets and you would have no defense (other than firewalls running on the local computers).

SomeoneE1se Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 ...they would inject packets into a pax game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 ...they would inject packets into a pax game? Not the game necessarily, any computer on your network. Admittedly it would have to be a brute force guess the IP address of the computers, routers and printers attack, but it would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeoneE1se Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 really you could do that with out a VPN and it would be easyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 really you could do that with out a VPN and it would be easyer No, you miss the point. If you have a router you are much better off then a direct internet connection, that makes it impossible to direct traffic to known LAN IP address. If you then open a port and run a unencrypted virtual network service on that port, you just defeated every thing the router does except you still only have one internet IP address, Internal IP addresses will be included as part of the data of each packet rather than in the packet header, so that doesn't matter. Even if you allow connection to and from a trusted Ip on the internet, it doesn't matter. If some one gets that IP they can spoof ip so easy it's sill. If you use TCP (rather than UDP, but most VPN solutions (not that this is a VPN) use UDP) it would be harder for packet injection to occur but still possible.
