Shouldn't a module just be able to be uploaded to a running m0n0wall system in a similar way to a new firmware? Making a module that needs to have the original image edited and the "module" code included is more like hacking the base than adding a module to me. > The system currently supports and is tested with tun-style > tunnels.

Please > supply your feedback either directly or via the list. I'm off for a week of babysitting my sister's kids (school holidays) so I'll be pretty much unable to test anything. And as I have a net4501 and no other FreeBSD system, it looks like your module cannot be uploaded to the net4501 to test anyway - I don't want to hack a working m0n0wall base to add a module. Good luck - I hope this works out for you and those looking at OpenVPN. -- Regards, Hilton Travis Phone: +61 (0)7 3343 3889 (Brisbane, Australia) Phone: +61 (0)419 792 394 Manager, Quark IT http://www.quarkit.com.au Quark AudioVisual http://www.quarkav.net http://www.threatcode.com/ <-- its now time to shame poor coders into writing code that is acceptable for use on today's networks War doesn't determine who is right.
