tun (IP 层面的信道) 和 tap (Ethernet 层面的信道) 接口。实务上，常用的是 tun 接口，除非 VPN 客户端难以经由 Ethernet 桥接器集成入服务器的局域网路。
pki/ca.crt) will be stored on all machines (both server and clients) as /etc/ssl/certs/Falcot_CA.crt. The server's certificate is installed only on the server (pki/issued/vpn.falcot.com.crt goes to /etc/ssl/certs/vpn.falcot.com.crt, and pki/private/vpn.falcot.com.key goes to /etc/ssl/private/vpn.falcot.com.key with restricted permissions so that only the administrator can read it), with the corresponding Diffie-Hellman parameters (pki/dh.pem) installed to /etc/openvpn/dh.pem. Client certificates are installed on the corresponding VPN client in a similar fashion.
/etc/openvpn/*.conf. Setting up a VPN server is therefore a matter of storing a corresponding configuration file in this directory. A good starting point is /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/sample-config-files/server.conf.gz, which leads to a rather standard server. Of course, some parameters need to be adapted: ca, cert, key and dh need to describe the selected locations (respectively, /etc/ssl/certs/Falcot_CA.crt, /etc/ssl/vpn.falcot.com.crt, /etc/ssl/private/vpn.falcot.com.key and /etc/openvpn/dh.pem). The server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0 directive defines the subnet to be used by the VPN; the server uses the first IP address in that range (10.8.0.1) and the rest of the addresses are allocated to clients.
tun0 name. However, firewalls are often configured at the same time as the real network interfaces, which happens before OpenVPN starts. Good practice therefore recommends creating a persistent virtual network interface, and configuring OpenVPN to use this pre-existing interface. This further allows choosing the name for this interface. To this end, openvpn --mktun --dev vpn --dev-type tun creates a virtual network interface named vpn with type tun; this command can easily be integrated in the firewall configuration script, or in an up directive of the /etc/network/interfaces file, or a udev rule can be added to that end. The OpenVPN configuration file must also be updated accordingly, with the dev vpn and dev-type tun directives.
10.8.0.1 地址近用 VPN 服务器。为了授权客户近用本地网络 (192.168.0.0/24)，需在 OpenVPN 配置中加入 推送路径 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0，让 VPN 客户端自动取得网络路由，使其明了经由 VPN 可以进入该网络。此外，本地网络的机器也需被告知，经由 VPN 服务器 (在闸道安装 VPN 服务器即自动启用) 进入VPN。另外，VPN 服务器可以配置后运行伪装 IP 的工作，让来自 VPN 客户端的消息显示成来自 VPN 服务器 (见 第 10.1 节 “网关”)。
/etc/openvpn/ 内的文件才能设置 OpenVPN 客户端。标准的配置方法可从使用 /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/sample-config-files/client.conf 这个文件开始。remote vpn.falcot.com 1194 介绍 OpenVPN 服务器的地址及端口号；描述密钥文档地址时，需参考 ca、cert 和 key。
AUTOSTART directive to none in the /etc/default/openvpn file. Starting or stopping a given VPN connection is always possible with the commands systemctl start openvpn@name and systemctl stop openvpn@name (where the connection name matches the one defined in /etc/openvpn/name.conf).
tun*) 于 SSH 链接的两端，且可以精准地配置这些虚拟接口，就像在实体接口环境下。必须先设置 PermitTunnel 为 “yes” 于 SSH 服务器配置档 (/etc/ssh/sshd_config)，才能启用此隧道系统。启用 SSH 链接后，添加的隧道必须以 -w any:any 选项 (any 可以用期望的 tun 设备名称取代) 请求链接。两端的用户需有管理者权限，才能添加网络设备 (换句话说，必须以超级用户的身份才能创建链接)。
/etc/ipsec.conf contains the parameters for IPsec tunnels (or Security Associations, in the IPsec terminology) that the host is concerned with. There are many configuration examples in /usr/share/doc/libreswan/, but Libreswan's online documentation has more examples with explanations:
systemctl; for example, systemctl start ipsec will start the IPsec service.
/etc/ppp/options.pptp、/etc/ppp/peers/falcot、/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/falcot、与 /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/falcot。

pptpd 是 Linux 的 PPTP 服务器。它的主要配置档是，/etc/pptpd.conf，应做若干改变：localip (内网 IP 地址) 与 remoteip (外网 IP 地址)。在下例中，PPTP 服务器总是使用 192.168.0.199 地址，以及从 192.168.0.200 至 192.168.0.250 之间接收 PPTP 客户端的 IP 地址。
例 10.6. /etc/pptpd.conf 文件
[..] # TAG: localip # TAG: remoteip # Specifies the local and remote IP address ranges. # # These options are ignored if delegate option is set. # # Any addresses work as long as the local machine takes care of the # routing. But if you want to use MS-Windows networking, you should # use IP addresses out of the LAN address space and use the proxyarp # option in the pppd options file, or run bcrelay. # # You can specify single IP addresses seperated by commas or you can # specify ranges, or both. For example: # # 192.168.0.234,192.168.0.245-249,192.168.0.254 # # IMPORTANT RESTRICTIONS: # # 1. No spaces are permitted between commas or within addresses. # # 2. If you give more IP addresses than the value of connections, # it will start at the beginning of the list and go until it # gets connections IPs. Others will be ignored. # # 3. No shortcuts in ranges! ie. 234-8 does not mean 234 to 238, # you must type 234-238 if you mean this. # # 4. If you give a single localIP, that's ok - all local IPs will # be set to the given one. You MUST still give at least one remote # IP for each simultaneous client. # # (Recommended) #localip 192.168.0.1 #remoteip 192.168.0.234-238,192.168.0.245 # or #localip 192.168.0.234-238,192.168.0.245 #remoteip 192.168.1.234-238,192.168.1.245 localip 192.168.0.199 remoteip 192.168.0.200-250
/etc/ppp/pptpd-options 做若干改变。 重要的参数有服务器名称 (pptp)、网域名称 (falcot.com)、以及 DNS 与 WINS 服务器的 IP 地址。
例 10.7. /etc/ppp/pptpd-options 文件

vpn 用户 (及其密码) 于 /etc/ppp/chap-secrets 文件的最后一个步骤。其他的作为里，星号 (*) 是有作用的，在此的服务器名称必须明示出来。而且，Windows PPTP 客户端以 DOMAIN\\USER 形式辨识，不是以用户名区别。这就说明了在 FALCOT\\vpn 用户必须提及的文件。也可以指定用户使用特定的 IP 地址；此字段内的星号用于指定动态的地址。
