I don't know of anyone that has setup an "opportunistic" connection with present LEAF ipsec package. I use a "host-to-subnet" type connection with my road-warriors. See: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/guitarlynn/ipsec.txt >but if my "road" computer is NOT set-up as a > VPN, my firewall will still allow my access to my internal LAN. Not unless you setup the firewall and routing to allow this. This could not be easily done with a non-static ip road-warrior without allowing access to the entire internet. > Is that an accurate interpretation???

IPSec is available to do just that. -- ~Lynn Avants aka Guitarlynn guitarlynn at users.sourceforge.net http://leaf.sourceforge.net If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question! ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
