From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Zyxel SSL VPN with linux ? (jlai.lu)

Hello,

My employer had the good idea of setting up shared directories at the company's head office, on a NAS (Zyxel brand, apparently).

I have all the credentials for connecting to the VPN (SSL_VPN), then those for mounting the shared directory.

My problem is that I don't use Windows on my post (well, I do, but in dual boot), but I'd like to be able to do everything from Mint, without having to go through Windows.

I've tried installing the network-manager-fortisslvpn package, but it doesn't work. All I have is a login and password, and the server address is IP:4443.

No certificate has been provided, under windows (installing SSL_VPN_Client_4.0.4.0) on connection there's an error message and you realize that on the server side it's a self-signed certificate.... (LOL?)

Any idea how I can connect? No leads on the Zyxel forum, there's no linux support anyway.

Any ideas?

Does curl support certificate downloads?

Edit: try openssl if you have access to it...

I got the certificat using firefox (export certificat), but it doesn't works. Always a timeout :/

Rats.. Sorry mate.

We'll have to wait for someone smarter than me to come and solve this.
