Hi folks, Charles, please help me clarify this in my mind if you would please...if I want my Private Student LAN to have the internet public addresses, isn't this really a bridge? Here's what I mean-
Internet-----Bering Box 1----(School LAN)-----Bering Box 2-----Private Student LAN I want the private student LAN to have the public, internet addresses from Bering Box 1. And because I have to go through the existing, school LAN I want the traffic encrypted. But, in my mind, because I want the Private Student LAN to have those public addresses...this is a bridge isn't it? Thank you for your help!

What you basically need to do is replace the default route on your system with a route through your VPN tunnel. There are a couple of practical problems you can run into when doing this, but it is quite possible. There's a fair amount of documetnation about setups like this in the FreeS/WAN docs, and in their mailing list archives...you basically need to setup a tunnel with the far end being 0/0 (the whole internet), and the near end being your existing network. NOTE: There's another feature that you may find handy...look through the FreeS/WAN documentation for "extruded subnet" configurations. This allows your remote systems to behave as if they were on a subnet located at the far end of your VPN.
