Re: [CentOS] vpn client setup/plugin
From: Wes James compte...@gmail.com I'm using CentOS 6.4 x64. I wonder if the instructions for setting it up have different options based on its age. The one the installs on CentOS may not have the options he is talking about. Maybe try this (untested) one: http://agix.com.au/blog/?p=3063 JD ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] vpn client setup/plugin
Setting up an IPSec client via trial and error is an absolute pain. The best results I've had have been with the Shrew Soft (https://www.shrew.net/) client. You may still have to monkey around with the settings for a while but I felt that my chances for success were dramatically increased by using it. I have the occasional network memory exhaustion problem but reconnecting clears it and if it was too much of a pain, I'd spend some time tracking it down.

I was just about to try it, but I got some info back from our IT folks and they have a new vpn solution going in and I tried it and it works on centos 6.4 so I'm just going to role with that :) Thanks for everyone's help! -wes ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] vpn client setup/plugin
In which distro are you trying to configure? Anything on ipsec logs ? In case you're working on CentOS or any RHEL based, try setting SELinux to permissive ( setenforce 0 ) 2013/11/19 Wes James compte...@gmail.com On Tue, Nov 19, 2013 at 8:31 AM, John Doe jd...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Wes James compte...@gmail.com On Mon, Nov 18, 2013 at 11:47 PM, Mihamina RKTMB miham...@rktmb.org I'm trying to find the correct vpn plugin so I can vpn in to a server.
