Between fairly up-to-date OpenBSD systems, the simplest way is to configure the VPN using ipsec.conf. You could probably work this out from the manual, but there's no direct example for a dynamic endpoint, so you might find this post from reyk@ useful: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-misc&m=114200271127147&w=2 > 2) The firewall in connected to two Internet connections with > differrent static IP address.

You may need to adjust the settings at your side when the office changes to the other connection and use ipsecctl to flush and reload the configuration but I don't expect that to be a big problem for you. If it's likely to happen often you could automate this via a script started from cron. > 4) My computer at home will be running OpenBSD most of the time ( > sometimes debian/slamd64 ). it will be getting a dynamic Ipaddress > from a DSl router. It should be possible to setup IPsec there too, but if you might find that it's enough to use SSH when you're running Debian; using "ssh -D" most programs can connect to internal computers when you wrap them using 'dsocks' - this is fast and simple to use. Wishing you a speedy return to health. Stuart
