Description:
The following list describes the tasks that must be performed prior to establishing a VPN connection with SWsoft support server for the first time:
openvpn
(version 2.0 and above) and vzvpn
packages are installed on your Hardware Node. These packages are automatically installed during the installation of Virtuozzo Containers version 2.6.2 to 4.0. If you are running a version of Virtuozzo Containers older than 2.6.2, you may need to manually copy these packages and install them on your Hardware Node./etc/vzvpn/vzvpn.conf
file to specify the correct parameters for your proxy server, if you use one. Detailed information on these parameters is given in the vzvpn Configuration File subsection of the Virtuozzo Reference Guide.set_key
call. See Virtuozzo User's Guide for information on how to obtain a certificate from SWsoft.After establishing a VPN connection, contact the SWsoft support team via telephone or e-mail and describe the problem with your Virtuozzo Containers installation. The support team will use the VPN connection that you've established to analyze and solve the problem.
When the connection is no longer needed, close it using the stop_channel
call.
Note: Virtuozzo Support Tunnel is implemented as a standard Linux service running in the background on the Hardware Node. To have this service running after your Hardware Node reboot, you should set it to the autoboot
mode or start it manually by executing the /etc/init.d/vzvpn start
command. To check the status of the Support Channel service, use the get_channel_status
call.
