Hello Everyone, Our service provider requires all connections between us be done through IPSec IKE. From the little bit of research, I found that this is achieved using a system with IPSec kernel modules enabled, along with cryptography modules. On the application level, I saw ipsec tool, OpenSWAN, and OpenVPN.
What I was wondering is which should be used for traffic intensive connections in a deployment environment. Without starting any OpenVPN vs OpenSwan debate, we would really like to keep the application level to a minimum. Meaning if we could achieve the tunnel using the required kernel modules, ipsec-tools and iptables, we see that as keeping it simple and effective. Your insight, suggested how-to pages are greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance, Nick.
