This is useful if you have services on a local network and need to access them remotely but don't want these services to be publicly accessible. By integrating with OpenSSL, OpenVPN can encrypt all VPN traffic to provide a secure connection between machines. The OpenLDAP backend of iRedmail allows you to integrate all kinds of applicatio (HowTos)
