I am using ClearOS in gateway mode. I have a OpenVPN Server in Amazon Web Service. I've been using my raspberry pi(openvpn client) to connect to my AWS OpenVPN server. However I want to use ClearOS as OpenVPN client
I've found all the article about ClearOS as OpenVPN Server,but I want to use OpenVPN Client on ClearOS. Tried to install via shell (yum -y openvpn) however I cannot.
Also my ultimate goal is to create a site to site between clearOS and AWS OpenVPN.
Any help?
Thanks,
Ben

See the docs for a HowTo here.
Your yum command is slightly wrong. Try "yum install openvpn", perhaps with the "-y" switch. If it does not work, please state your version of ClearOS and the output of "yum repolist".
You can also do an IPsec VPN to AWS but it needs a particular set up which is detailed on Libreswan's web site. -

There is no particular difference between server and client. In the link to the HowTo, you will see the HQ config does not have a "remote" line so it is not trying to call anywhere. Implicitly, therefore, it is in server mode. The Remote Office Configuration has a "remote" line so, implicitly, it is running as client. If both ends have a "remote" line it may also work, but I don't know. In that case the client logically becomes the first one to establish a connection to the other but it really does not matter. It can also be controlled by the firewall as only the server should allow incoming connections.
