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
