Greetings. I've been happily using OpenVPN via CLI on my N800 for some weeks now, but wishing there was a nice GUI for my end-users to make use of. Today I stumbled upon this which appears to be a GUI running under MONO on a 770. Does anyone have any knowledge of this, where to find a MONO installer, etc? I'd love to have such a thing.

Well not that it's exactly a GUI, but you can use something like Kerez to have access to CLI commands and scripts without having to type them each time. Like I've made some simple "Home VPN Enable", "Home VPN Disable" entries.

Hmmm...I'd give it a try, but the installer is missing both from the Maemo Garage and the authors website.

Yeah, it's sort of a hunt for sure. Try this for the download:

and this has some useful information on enabling the "run as root" option and passing in arguments:

I have installed kerez but I can't seem to get it to run a couple of simple commands. In order to launch openvpn, I normally go to root in xterm and type 2 commands:

cd /etc/openvpn/
openvpn --config n800remote.ovpn

I entered it in kerez like this.

cd /etc/openvpn l openvpn -- n800remote.ovpn

The response is "Password:Options error: In (CMD-LINE):1 Error opening configuration file N800config.ovpn"

Anyone here know how to use kerez? How do I enter the commands?

Just a guess here, but you should probably write the full path to the config file not just the name. This is based on my own scripting experience on a full-sized linux machine.

I tried and got this response:

/tmp/kerez.tmp: line 2: /etc/openvpn/openvpn: not found

i have ben using vpnc 0.3.3 maemo-4
and the vpnc-gui 0.3.4
on os 2008 on my 810
Seemed to work fine.. hell it even pulled in our cisco pc config file
that we have our embedded key in.

Works like a charm.

Sorry, I missed something when I typed the command I am trying to put into kerez. Here is the correct command.

cd /etc/openvpn l openvpn --config n800remote.ovpn

AFAIK, you can't use the pipe '|' to chain commands like that, it's meant for piping output of one command to another.

What you want to do is execute
cd /etc/openvpn && openvpn --config n800remote.ovpn
It would be simpler to just use full paths in one command, though, like so:
openvpn --config /etc/n800remote.ovpn
In this case, you'll have to use the full paths in your configuration file as well, so for example
ca /etc/openvpn/CA.crt
instead of just
ca CA.crt
