RE: vpn support for 2.4.18 and up

Title: Message
The openssl-2.4.16 kernel patch works fine for the late 2.4.x kernels with a very minor code change.
It works with 2.4.16, 2.4.17, 2.4.18 - even those kernels with various other patches applied
The trick is in this line:
 
+#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= VERSION(2,1,4)
 
which is here: linux-2.4.16-openssl-0.9.6b-mppe.patch: unmodified: line 992 of 3152 [31%]
change that line to read:

+#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= VERSION(2,18,4)
 
save the patch, then patch your kernel with cd /usr/src/linux && patch -p1 < ../linux-2.4.16-openssl-0.9.6b-mppe.patch
 
then set up your ppp modules, compile and install the kernel and it should all work
 
of course, you will need the ppp-2.4.1 source and the patches for m$ 128bit encryption  
 
 
Get the patch here:

Subject: vpn support for 2.4.18 and up

 
 
I am trying to set up a firewall supporting VPn traffic. Initially my thoughts were to get the most up to date kernel 2.4.8 patch it and
set up my firewall. Then i realized in order to support vpn the vpn patch only goes up to 2.4.17 (would be nice to find 2.4.18) now I
have to find a 2.4.17 kernel, applie the appropriate iptables patch then the appropriate pptp filtering patch.
 
my questions are
 
1.) Does anyone know of a pptp filtering patch for 2.4.18 kernels or there after.
2.) know what is the latest/stable iptables patch that is compatable with 2.4.17 or 2.4.18 kernel
3.) Is there an easier way to build a Firewall that supports pptp
 
I'm running SuSE8.0 can someone suggest a better distru that will be a good firewall and works well with iptables and supports vpn
