Hi, Hakan...

Hi Lewis, What are the chances to connect to a large corporation's
server using the OS/2 VPN client? Even if the OS/2 version would work
with OpenVPN, would it work with other VPN "servers"?

  
Again, AFAIK, *any* server-side implementation of OpenVPN (SSL) is going to utilize tunneling, thus requiring TUN support in the TAP/TUN driver, which we do not currently have. However, if the VPN is IPSec (i.e., not SSL), the InJoy VPN client should work (I recently purchased an InJoy license specifically to test this, but have not had the time to devote to picking through the configuration files in the absence of a good How-To for connecting InJoy to Astaro's IPSec (which is based on Openswan, I believe).

So, the quick answer to your question, in two parts, is:

SSL (OpenVPN) - no.
IPSec (Openswan / FreeS/WAN) - probably.
