How To Set Up TrustConnect On Linux

The following options are available for Linux users:

Download and Install the OpenVPN Client

Download and Install the RedHat Client

Download and Install the Ubuntu Client

Download and Install the TrustConnect OpenVPN Client

To connect to the TrustConnect service you must first download and install the TrustConnect OpenVPN client software:

1. Download the TrustConnect OpenVPN client for Linux. Click here to download the client directly.

2. Using the RPM package

If you are using a Linux distribution which supports RPM packages (SuSE, Fedora, Redhat, etc.), it's best to install using this mechanism. You can build your own binary RPM file:

rpmbuild -tb openvpn-[version].tar.gz

Once you have the RPM file, you can install it with:

rpm -ivh openvpn-[details].rpm

Installing OpenVPN from a binary RPM package has these dependencies: openssl, lzo, pam. LZO library can be downloaded here.

3. Without the RPM package

If you are using Debian, Gentoo, or a non RPM based Linux distribution, use your distribution specific packaging mechanism such as 'apt-get' on Debian or 'emerge' on Gentoo. It is also possible to install OpenVPN on Linux using the universal ./configure method.

First expand the .tar.gz file:

tar -xfz openvpn-[version].tar.gz

Then cd to the top level directory and type:

./configure

make

make install
