Re: [PCTOL: 15866] could someone access my pc remotely to set up openvpn in linux?

Before answering that question, tell us more about hat it is you are trying to do. In other words, why are you trying to install this?

Yes, but not for a while AND...  before that, I agree with Rich. I know why you want to set up a VPN, but if there are no Linux techs there, what are you trying to accomplish?  Is this for the business or for you or...?

Oh, one other not so minor nit, since you'd have to give the 3rd party root access, are you REALLY (I mean absolutely positively sure) you want to give that to someone else?  I don't give root access to anyone who doesn't absolutely positively need it. DANGEROUS!

I'd suggest you either get better at instructions or you do the work with someone looking over your shoulder (except when you type passwords) or on the phone when YOU do it. Certificates have to be updated, etc. So this isn't a once and done situation.
