WPS… I believe it stands for Wi-Fi Protected Setup which, to be totally honest, is quite ironic. Nowadays, I think a much more fitting name would be Wi-Fi Penetration System since I can guarantee you that every network you spot with WPS enabled is hackable in less than 3/4 hours. Interesting? Well, let me show you.

I was recently tasked with setting up a site-to-site VPN between IOS-like devices. As networking was originally my target area of expertise in IT, I gladly jumped right in. In this tutorial, you will learn how to tackle such task and rollout S2S VPN without the assistance of a GUI!

In this tutorial, we’re going to finish up the OpenVPN setup. What’s left to do is creating client configuration file (.ovpn), which is going to contain all the info required by the OpenVPN client for establishing a VPN connection. We’re also going to look into the actual client software setup on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS and OSX.

We’re all lazy, aren’t we? If you think about it for a second, everything you do is more or less aimed at making your life easier, simpler and less-time consuming. Think about your last project.

Essential network components are sometimes the hardest to configure without knowing the basics. When I first started working on a virtual environment, I didn’t even know I had to setup networking! It took me weeks to understand fully how all the VMware “parts” speak to each other. The vKernels, vSwitches, vLANs versus VLANs… yeah, that’s a story for another time.
