I did a quick install that was really pretty easy so far. But while
configuring it i failed to setup a tunnel directly between two hosts
without any routers/firewalls between them.

Examples there only describes models like:

[endpoint]<--LAN-->[firewall]<--internet-->[Roadwarrior]

or

[endpoint]<--LAN-->[firewall]<--internet-->[router/firewall]<--LAN-->[Roadwarrior]

Is it true that only with the upcoming openvpn 2.0 direct connections
between
server and client get possible. That would make ipsec the first choice.

[anyserver POP/SMB]<---->[any client]

Thx in advance

the bob
