Have a look at OpenVPN. It's a little work to set up but it's very robust once you've got it working. There's lots of info on the site, I can post my config files too if it will help.

I'm romanian. I've done some research on romanian linux forums, and this OpenVPn it's hard to configure, still a lot of people use it. I'd like some more info's, yes, your help and could you please tell me if this OpenVPN, configurated will be working with live cd? I know I'll probably have to configure this OpenVPN every time, but that could only be like a sport every time

...
thank you.

The fact that it's a LiveCD distribution isn't really relevant once you've booted up you just have Linux running...I'll post my config files when I go home this evening. I did find some good tutorials that I used too, I'll see if I can dig up the links to them and post them too.

In Knoppix you usually can save your configs to a floppy. I'd suggest a look into that (F2 during boot or some such?).

OK, some howtos:

http://openvpn.net/howto.html
http://openvpn.net/static.html - easier to set up but less secure

And my config files:

Server config
Client config

Hope this helps.

first, I've decided to install knoppix. so I'll take it in small steps.
in order to have dual boot system (win-lin) this configuration would be good?
