[Server-devel] openVPN on the XS

[Mitchell Seaton]

We're looking to try set this up in our new and existing deployments this
year with their XS servers, the WIKI documentation would be great to point
to for our local tech lead, Ferdie (Occ Mindoro, Ph) who we're waiting to
hear from before we proceed with our own openVPN instance for Phils.

Regards,
Mitch
