I think the key word there is "direct" -- AFAIK FreeLAN is P2P, where OpenVPN is "client -> server -> other client"

- zanny 13y agoBut the semantics are silly if you can just host your own server.

- JulianMorrison 13y agoOpenVPN is client/server in cert authenticated mode and P2P in symmetric mode. What it doesn't do is routing, so for creation of darknets you need a proper routing daemon, and non colliding IPs. Nor does it tunnel NAT (but it can connect from in NAT to outside, so a group in NAT can be bridged by a hub node on the internet).
