Amrita VPN is an easy-to-use open source VPN solution that runs on the GNU/Linux platform. The implementation is fully in userspace and requires no kernel patches or enhancements. It uses openssl library for strong encryption and authentication through SSLv3.

Amrita VPN IS used to connect two private networks through a public network such as the Internet. It requires only one end to have a direct Internet connection preferably with a permanent public IP address. The other end could be connected to the Internet via a masquerading router.

tar xvfz amvpn-0.99.tar.gz
* cd amvpn-0.99
* ./configure
* make
* make install

Root privilege is required to install and run AmritaVPN. You would need a root login shell to succesfully run 'make install'. If you're logged in as root, then of course you already have a root login shell.Otherwise you must do: 'su -' instead of simply 'su' at command prompt.

What's New in This Release:
Added keepalive message option.
Added basic flow control logic in the relay loop - Prevents amvpn from becoming CPU-bound when there's a break/congestion in the outbound link.
