[Novalug] Anyone familiar with the EBox router ?

[Igor Birman]

We just installed E-Box as a server for a customer so we know something about it.  Unfortunately, I don't quite have routing figured out - I tried to get OpenVPN working on it and just can't get it to route anything.  I gave up on OpenVPN and went with pptpd instead because it worked on the first try...

In any case, I don't think you have to create any network objects, what you need is a static route.  This unfortunately is poorly documented: http://ebox-platform.com/usersguide/en/html/ebox-userguide-book.html#route-example

But read the networking section of the user guide 3 times and then see if you can get it to route the way you want.

If you have any luck with OpenVPN, please let me know!

Also, send me an email if you want to discuss it further.  I have an instance of eBox running in an VM on my laptop for testing...

Igor

Subject: [Novalug] Anyone familiar with the EBox router ?

I'd like to retire my venerable IPCop router for an EBox (
www.ebox-platform.com). This router platform looks very promising, and is 
supported on Ubuntu 8.04 (deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/juruen/ubuntu hardy 
main ).

Trouble is, despite reading two years of the mailing list, the wiki, and 
the discussion forum, I still can't figure out their terminology. I've 
posted in the forum, (
http://forum.eboxplatform.com/index.php?WSESSID=2b82f4c46ded1893d7aa175868eff336&topic=547.0 
), but the assistance is very general.

Anyone who could give a nudge or two would be very appreciated.
