Hello expert,

I would like to set up a VPN to my ISP.

My network setup is:

ISP <-> local router/firewall <-> local net <-> computer A,B,C...

Is it possible to configure the VPN on comp A as follows:

local net <-> [ VPN client <-> local proxies <-> browser, news, mail, etc clients]

The local proxies currently operate as 'localhost', and the clients
are set up to use a 'localhost' proxy on the appropriate port, say 80
for HTTP. The local proxy of most interest is Privoxy. It makes
browsing nicer and more private.

How can I set this up in Mandrake? My ISP has available a Cisco IPSEC
client for linux, if it is needed. The usual VPN setup is as follows:

local net <-> [ VPN client <-> browser, news, mail, etc clients]

What I am most interested in is ADDING the local proxies to the chain.

Also, I have the local net, with Win machines, set up to share files
and printing. If I allow this VPN tunnel to my ISP, thus making a
direct connection to my local net inside the router/firewall, will
that essentially compromise my security by allowing others to see my
local network and files? If so, is there a way to prevent this
(perhaps by setting up a vpn network zone in the Mandrake firewall)?
