OpenVPN to server on the internet to manage it ??
I have a VDS running that is on the public internet.
To be able to have a secure access to it to manage the server, can I run an OpenVPN-server on it and make a VPN-connection to it ? Services like webmin, CSF&LFD-firewall GUI and other webGUI tools would then be safe to access ?? |

But I guess more hassel free is just to use ssh and install a cmd browser like w3m. Or go for an X eviroment through ssh. I say it depends on your momentary knowlegde, the knowlegde you want to gain and the time you have. |

But the firewall configuration in iptables is not (yet) my thing. X11 through ssh, is it possible when server is in runlevel 3 ?? webmin and webGUI stuff only accesible from localhost ?? When my OpenVPN-server gives me an IP of 10.8.0.1 I can not really use the webGUI-apps, no ?! |

1.) Create a little shell script Code:
iptables -t nat -F 2.) Create a cronjob that runs every minute and executes the script above so in case of lockout you'll gain access. Quote:
