[pfSense-discussion] VPN questions

[DarkFoon]

Hello all, my client wants himself and his franchisees to be able to securely access a fileserver (actually it's his workgroup-soon to be domain-server) behind the pfSense box and upload important data files to it. These clients are using laptops with wireless connections(3G access, not wi-fi, but possibly wi-fi too), or desktops at home behind little home firewall/routers with broadband internet. All are running windows XP Pro. pfSense offers me three kinds of VPN, as you all know: PPTP (about which I've read numerous articles citing security flaws in its authentications using MS-CHAP), IPSec is for site-to-site (and impossibly to set up under windows, because all methods I've reasearched require a static IP on the windows computer, and 3G doesn't offer static IPs), and finally OpenVPN which is experimental and messes up the OPTx interfaces (of which this pfSense box has 4). I would like to give Stunnel a try, but the package doesn't install on pfSense (despite saying that it's stable). So as you can see, I've got a bit of a problem. If there is an easier way to set up IPSec on a mobile windows client, I'd love to hear it. If there's a way to secure PPTP (other than upgrading the PPTP server in pfSense which, I have been told, will not be done) I'm all ears. If OpenVPN is more stable than the warning on its config pages makes it sound, let me know. I'm out of ideas. Thank you all A Rossi
