Hi,
I have a home LAN cable-modem fed into a Linux box that's doing NAT. I'd
like to VPN my home-lan to my University department such that anything I
do to access a campus IP goes through the VPN and out a campus-based IP,
and anything dealing with the Internet large goes direct through the
cablemodem (non-VPN.)
The ppp-over-ssh solution seems to be the easiest, so I've started
researching there but my situation is a little more unique than the
VPN-HOWTO describes. I'm not connecting two private networks, but one
NAT'd network with a true network.
One solution as I see it is to remove the NAT'ing on my home Linux server
and simply use it to VPN the data to a Linux box in my office. The office
Linux server would then masq all the fake IP addresses to the outside
world through its real campus IP address. However, that's going to put
all traffic through the campus IP: I just want campus related routes to
go through the VPN. Everything else needs to go directly out from the
cablemodem.
That leads me to believe the NAT functionality must remain local to the
home linux box, but then how do I do the VPN?
Also, what's required on the campus Linux box side? Does it need more
than one ethernet card or IP address?
Can anyone provide suggestions, or pointers to where I can go for more
information?
Thanks,
Dave
