Re: How to install openvpn on GhostBSD

The old pkg is no longer used by the upstream FreeBSD - another reason to use a more up to date system.

Edit: There were a great many changes to the way the system operated when version 10 of FreeBSD came out.

Re: How to install openvpn on GhostBSD

Take a look here,

Re: GhostBSD 10.1 release, is not compatible with FreeBSD 10

PC-BSD has many people working on it, GhostBSD only has, I think, about two people doing the actual work.
It takes time to change to the new versions. :)

Re: How to install openvpn on GhostBSD

Using the latest version of an O/S is always 'recommended practice' to keep vulnerabilities at bay. (2.5 is quite old & uses a different packaging system to that used now.) As far as I know, openvpn is not included software, so will have to be installed by yourself. (The old way is pkg_add openv...

Re: base.iso request

Ah, no I didn't realise this was only visible to devs & mods. :) My being a 'mod' came about awhile ago, I was just an interested passer by at that time, being heavily involved with Linux, & offered to help if I could, as I thought the project had merit. Unfortunately, I don't have the skill...
