Thank you to all the people that were helping me out setting up my firewall. I never could get the VPN working, so and boss got in such a rush to have it up and running that he told me to go get the GallantWeb server. It only cost $399.00 and comes with everything that we needed. VPN was just a click away. It has a web enterface and everything. I believe that we are going to become a VAR for them too and will be able to sell them for less than they do direct. It does the PPTP VPN and also IPSec VPN.

Thanks Again to everybody for their help. I will still be using Bering/Shorewall for my home firewall because I don't need everything that GallantWeb has. I guess that will give me time to try and get the VPN working on Bering. :)

i have a rc3 with bering, i have multiple ipsec (vpn) tunnels running
from other bering rc3 boxes,
I also use netscreen-remote vpn client software, between remote clients
and the network.

i had to use shared secret, between netscreen and bering, i didn't get
x509 keysd to work,
ergo the client needed a real ip address and could not be behind a nat
router.

I suspect i could make it work with keys if i had the time to
experiment.

but yes bering will do vpn very nicely.
i used the docs from "bering user guide".
+ regular ipsec docs.
