Hi,

I found that pkgsrc has OpenVPN. Has anyone actually used it successfully? I haven't tried it myself yet, but often 
people ask for it. I heard it's not going to work because QNX doesn't provide 'TUN' devices. Not sure what these are 
though.

Will OpenVPN work out of the box?

I haven't tried it personally.  I'm surprised it built because like you
say, I though it needed tun / tap.  tun / tap are on our 'nice to have'
list at the moment but this may change as they keep coming up.

How would a customer establish a VPN connection with a QNX-based system then? I'm sure there is a possibility...?

There's always racoon for example:
