VPN Issues With New Airport Extreme 802.11n

Posted by kdawson on from the problem-with-drafts dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The new Airport Extremes are shipping and some users are reporting problems with certain types of VPN connectivity. There is a work-around posted in Apple's support forums, but the solution is less than ideal. These issues were not experienced in Apple's earlier Airport Extreme, and users are calling for Apple to fix the issue. Some have even taken their unit back to Apple until a fix is created."

    One of the (many) nice things about openvpn is how it seems to work very well without requiring monkeying around needed on your hardware - you have to add/enable the tun/tap drivers on the client machine, but that's about it. I've been using it for about a year, connecting from my OS X laptop to my linux box at work. I've also, for testing's sake, connected from a Windows box without problems.

    Openvpn is quite straightforward to set up, secure, cross-platform, and FREE.
