No, compression is not needed for IPSec. The only compression algorithm racoon supports is defate, but that doesn't mean it won't run without compression. The settings in /etc/ipsec.conf are what tell FreeBSD's IPSec to use or not use compression. ESP is an encryption layer that you can enable in ipsec.conf and IPComp is a compression layer, if you only setup ESP then no compression takes place. > > Please be sure to inclue me on any replies, as I am not subscibed to the > list. > > TIA > > --Chris > > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" -- I sense much NT in you.
