This article explains how to configure your vpn client, so that you can access the network at NIKHEF.

Configuration Files

The following configuration files need to be copy to $HOME/Library/Application Support/Tunnelblick/Configurations/; the owner:group of the files are root:wheel and the permissions are rw-r--r--. The two CA crt files (salado-ca.crt & nikhef-ca.crt) need to be place in $HOME/.globus

You can use Sloot as the primary vpn server and Boswachter as an alternative. Remote is for the remote location. Tunnel is to Schrepel and to put all your traffic over the line. Openvpn is to Schrepel and normal use. Wipkip-tunnel is handy if you want to encrypt all your traffic but don't want to use TCP for it.

NOTE: change the names between '<' & '>' by either the hostname or the location of the CRTs/PEMs.
