OpenVPN client on ALIX.2D3

We needed to connect a RemoteDesktop client (a thinclient) and a SIP-phone to a OpenVPN-network to be able to reach some services.
It was not possible to install openvpn in ether the thinclient or the SIP-phone, so we needed a OpenVPN gateway.

We bought a ALIX.2D3 which would act as gateway for the various clients. (See the ALIX board at http://www.pcengines.ch/alix2d3.htm)
