To answer all questions, I will have access to both the server and client end of the VPN. Although plugging in a couple of Smoothwall or Clark Connect boxes would cerainly simplify things, the only two extra boxes I would have for this are coming with me for other purposes so I need to install the server components on my existing RH 7.3 gateway. So far it sounds like I should be trying FreeSwan and so I have downloaded the 2 rpm's and will give that a go.
Hopefully I will be able to adequently test things from with my internal network. ------ original message ------ From: Marcel Lecker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Mon Jun 23 12:18:03 MDT 2003 Subject: RE: (clug-talk) Linux VPN Options It may seem a little low-tech, but you could probably get what you want with a couple of Smoothwall, IPcop, or Mitel (aka e-smith) boxes. They are fully set up and ready to go with VPN. I've never done it myself, but the instructions seem pretty straight forward. Marcel -----Original Message----- From: Johnny Stork [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 11:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: (clug-talk) Linux VPN Options I thought I would check with the fine talent on this list before embarking on setting up a VPN for myself which I will need for at least the month of July while I do some work in Vancouver. I have been looking at both FreeSwan and OpenVPN and would like to hear peoples experiences and/or recommendations on either of these. Ideally since I only have a few days to set this up, configuration simplicity is pretty important and I may need to access the VPN from both a Windows 2000 client and RedHat 9 client. I need to have this up and running by no later than next Saturday.
