[leaf-user] bearing and VPN

[Steve Buehler]

Will the Bearing 1.0-RC3 installation with Shorewall do VPN? If so, are their any docs on setting it up or is there anybody that might be able to talk me through it? We need the firewall on our office network but have people working from their houses or on the road that need access to information on the office Windows machines and printers that will be behind the firewall.
We have figured that if we can't do VPN with Bearing that we might be able to open up the firewall to ONE machine for PcAnywhere to get in and then we can go to any other machine from there with PcAnywhere. The problem is that we need to be able to print on the network printers from outside of the office. How can I open that up? Right now we have them set up with external (internet) IP's so that we can print on them from outside of the office through TCP. We have 4 printers that we will need to connect to from behind and in front of the firewall.
If the only logical way is a VPN network and IF Bearing 1.0-RC3 won't do that, can someone suggest to me an inexpensive VPN/Firewall/Router software or hardware that would be powerful enough to do what I need here. Please understand that my boss is really on my case about getting this set up, but for some reason, he is being cheap (stupid) about it.

Thanks
Steve
