OpenVPN on Mac OS X Lion

2011-07-12 10:38:24

I need OpenVPN and Apple Remote Desktop. I can't upgrade to a new Mac OS until I know they will work. Here are notes I'll need to remember when updating my other machines to Lion.

For get OpenVPN, I need Macports.  There is no released Macports for Lion yet, so you need to build it from subversion.

There's actually a compile problem in openvpn2, you need to add these lines in socket.c:

#ifndef SOLIP
#define SOL
IP IPPROTO_IP
#endif

Regarding Remote Desktop, there is a Developer build (version 3.5) at connect.apple.com.  You have to be in the Developer program to get it. I assume they'll release an update to the App Store version of ARD when Lion is released.
