S2S SSL with StrongVPN

Hi all,
I like to know if this set is possible and if so,how do I accomplish it, because I don't have any clue.... [:(]
I want my Astaro box uses a SSL S2S connection to a server of strongvpn.com. strongvpn.com supports openvpn.
LAN->Astaro-S2S SSL-> strongvpn-server

So Astaro has to act as a SSL VPN client. Hopefully someone can help me with this...

thanks in advance...

Several other people have asked about something similar recently. Astaro can't act as just an OpenVPN client. In order to use s2s, you would need to be able to have direct configuration control over the endpoint at the strongvpn side as well.

What you might be able to do is to setup a local client to connect to strongvpn, then route all traffic through that client.

If you can make it work, please report back with your How-To.

which network should this local client reside? If I put a client on my local network, could I set a static route or route policy to direct traffic to this VPN gateway computer? would there be any issues?

or would it be better to put on another network?

do you see any issues with local clients not the same network if i route back to another client on that network?

i am also trying to route certain traffic through a VPN; but with Astaro unable to use an .ovpn file; or a current method to convert to .apc; I'm in a bind creating a network path to a remote VPN that is not Astaro.

i'd love if someone could give some advice to get an openvpn client config into Astaro. it seems there's no reason it shouldn't work; but I've tried multiple methods to convert into .apc with no luck. Old scripts no longer work; and my manual methods are also failing.

Any help would be great.
