Hi all,
I'm running presently Cisco ASA 5520 hardware with the Cisco VPN client
to provide remote users access to network resources. I have one user
who is interested in a client for Linux (specifically CentOS) and not
sure what to suggest. Does anyone have any good pointers for a good
client that I can point him to?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Have had good luck with VPNC on Linux. You can try the ShrewSoft Linux
client (http://www.shrew.net/) as well if you're of a mind, but vpnc
tends to win on simplicity.
If yourself (or your user) is a bit of a sick puppy[1], you can actually
get things working with Linux IPsec-tools (e.g. Racoon and XFRM). But I
advise against it unless the Linux station in question is obligated to
maintain existing IPsec sessions. In this case, neither vpnc or
ShrewSoft (or probably anything else IPsec-based) will work since both
IPsec-tools and vpnc will insist on binding a listener on 500/udp.
Best,
Lance Dryden
