 Private networks have become increasingly important. Virtual Private
Networks can not only connect machines to office networks but can also
be useful for redirecting traffic over geographic borders. But how do
you get started with the, and what's the best way to configure them?

 Scott Balneaves will present about OpenVPN. We'll discuss OpenVPN,
how to set it up, and the two primary methods for interconnecting
hosts: shared secret, and public key infrastructure.  We'll outline
both installation of OpenVPN, and easy-rsa, a suite of tools for
generating your own self-signed certificates.  We'll also cover
clients for OpenVPN: OpenVPN for Windows, and TunnelBlick for Mac.

 Scott Balneaves has been a systems administrator for his entire 30
year career in IT.  Starting off at Great-West Life, then the
University of Winnipeg, and finally, for the last 20 years at Legal
Aid Manitoba, where he administers over 200 GNU/Linux desktops, and
25+ servers.  He has been involved with several Free Software
projects, including LTSP, Mate Desktop and OpenOffice.

 Plus we'll have our regular features: Jobs Looking for People, People
Looking for Jobs, and much more!
