I've posted an account of my own experience setting up a tunnel in
Debian to a vpn server in linux at
http://www.acampbell.org.uk/linux/vpn.html. This is for a pptp server; I
don't know if that is what you are trying to do, but in any case it may
be adaptable to what you need.

Regards,


Amthony

Hello Verde,

 Am I correct in assuming that in order to setup a vpn connection
 on wheezy i need to install vpnc (or open-connect) ?

That completely depends what VPN server you want to connect to. I for one use 
OpenVPN on both the server and the client side.
So first you have to know what the server side is using in order to know what 
protocol the client side has to use. Then you need to determine which software 
supports that protocol.

Thanks for the reply. The connection is a Cisco IPSec connection to a
vpn at work. I have a similar connection on a company-issued Mac (don't
hate - I didn't ask for it). I want to set up the connection on my
Debian box for additional testing. The server side (afaik) is a Windows
server with a stack of Cisco 55xx gear. Not sure what other info you
might need to assist, so feel free to ask.

I would see if vpnc would work. That is what I use to connect to a Cisco pix 
at our colo, the only thing is that i disconnects every hour or so when the 
firewall rekeys.
