The router has nothing to do with it, unless you intend to connect your home network (in its entirety) to the other network, then the router makes the VPN connection and dd-wrt has configuration pages for that function. Once the router connects with the other network, why would you be running an OS2 client? AFAIK, dd-wrt passes through all client VPN connections.

PMFJ(B)I, but we are talking apples & oranges.
The original (changed) OT subject (as it related to OpenVPN) had to do with OS/2 *remote* clients connecting to DD-WRT-powered LinkSys WRT54GL (and other OpenVPN-enabled routers/firewalls, VPN concentrators).
The thread did *not* discuss client passthrough of SSL or IPSec VPN packets (and yes, all versions of DD-WRT firmware *should* pass IPSec packets if passthrough is enabled, as well as SSL - the latter without requiring any configuration changes).
So, again, we weren't discussing the ability of OpenVPN on OS/2 to handle NAT traversal to talk to another OS/2 machine on a remote network, but rather a single OS/2 client connecting to a WRT54G endpoint, thus extending the LAN via VPN to the remote client.
I hope that helps clarify the previous discussion, and perhaps we can get back on topic (for this list) sometime soon! :-)
