OpenVPN 2 Cookbook review
Recently I’ve been contacted by Packt publishing about to review their new published OpenVPN 2 Cookbook. I was particularly pleased to be chosen by my previous contributions on OpenVPN, this made me feel confident to review this book. OpenVPN is a Virtual Private Networking (VPN) software. Is one of the best Cross-platform examples in term of deployment variety, usually installed on Unix/Linux as server can inter-operate with many different operating system such Mac OS, Windows and Linux. OpenVPN come handy when you have to deploy VPN solutions in a heterogeneous environment, you will save a lot of headache.
OpenVPN 2 Cookbook is divided into twelve chapters that contains around 100 recipes to deploy and configure your optimal vpn solution, from Point-to-Point, Client-server IP-only and Two-factor Authentication with hardware token. Covering most of the uses of OpenVPN this book is an invaluable resource for who want to evaluate and develop a VPN solution from a simple home network to a secure and redundant corporate infrastructure.
I really enjoyed reading this book, because goes straight to the point of building stuff, skipping long and sometime useless introductions.
