Good Morning Erik,

Thanks for the information. You say that I only need to build the OpenVPN binary. I may be missing something here with my knowledge of IPFire. The only way I know to build the OpenVPN binary in IPFire is to do the ./make.sh clean followed by ./make.sh build which then builds the whole of IPFire. Are you suggesting that I build the OpenVPN binary by doing the ./configure then make then make install commands or is there some other way that I am not aware of.
I am still learning a lot about what is "under the bonnet" in IPFire programming so excuse me if my questions are a bit basic.

Regards,

Adolf.
