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)? -- Thanks, rikona mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
