Using an IPSec VPN is probably the "best" way to do it. FreeS/WAN (http://www.freeswan.org) is a Linux implementation of IPSec, but it's not the easiest thing in the world to configure.

I wonder what is the recommended way to setup an encrypted tunnel (to make a VPN) between two Debian boxes: - I tried pipsecd + userlink. The userlink module seems severely broken, at least with kernel 2.4. A simple ifconfig stays in D 'disk wait' forever! - ssh + ppp seems interesting because I know both of them. But is there a trick when you combine them? http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/VPN-HOWTO.html does not seem to be maintained. - GRE module in the kernel? (I use 2.4 on woody) Anyone has something to say about it? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
