OpeVPN Server

Before I roll my own - I was wondering if anyone was aware or can recommend an OpenVPN distro that is built for small embedded systems? I have googled a few sites but nothing seems to quite fit. I have some older equipment and I wanted to setup an OpenVPN server at home so I can connect into my home network when I am traveling.

I'm limited to a solution that can fit on 32Mb storage and 128Mb of memory. Yes - that's Mb.

Thanks.

You might want to pick up a Raspberry Pi and run OpenVPN on it.

Yup, Raspberry Pi is the way to go. There are tutorials around on how to set it up. GL

Agreed. Raspberry Pi and OpenVPN is the way to go.

Another option would be the minimal install of Ubuntu - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD

Dd-wrt has it built in, at least mine does

Thanks for the ideas. I think I'll probably just roll my own. It's a lot easier these days with BuildRoot. The Pi idea is interesting but I already have lots of excess hardware which I built so I don't want to have to design a rack-mounted housing for a Pi.

@GoodBishop - good tip about the Ubuntu minimum builds - I hadn't realized they were that compact. I will have to check them out for my next project.

@santaowns - thanks. I had explored OpenWRT as well. But it was a bit more than I was looking for.
