            1. Read the OpenVPN documentation on the OpenVPN site

            2. Configure one end as an OpenVPN server, the other as the client to connect to the server

            3. Test it

              I do it.
              But when I try to create a shared.key with SSH it say to me:
              pfsense:~#  openvpn –genkey --secret shared.key
              Wed Sep 23 08:39:34 2009 Cannot open shared secret file 'shared.key' for write: Read-only file system (errno=30)
              Wed Sep 23 08:39:34 2009 Exiting

              I suppose that there is some limitation to write the file system, but I don't find if it's possible to change this set write/notwrite the file system...
              Thanks

                What version number of pfSense are you using?  Did you do an embedded install?

                    That's your problem then - if you search the forum you'll find how to make the disk writeable while you configure OpenVPN.  I don't remember the details myself.
