Hello Răzvan

Sorry for lack of progress with this.

It was decided that improving documentation for IPsec VPN should be given higher priority than improving OpenVPN documentation.

Thank you for your feedback as always

Regards
Stephen

Hello Răzvan


I am closing this bug now with status WONTFIX because:

1] OpenVPN is not supported in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

2] We have documented the use of Openswan in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 Security Guide which will be available shortly. This was prompted by your bug Bug 746170 - Security Guide: no configuration example provided about VPNs

Thank you
