I use OBSD on the edges of my network and Linux inside 'em. The software you mention are all supported - OpenVPN - OpenSwan -> IPsec - Quagga. The network area is enthusiastically supported in OBSD with many tutorials and the community is pretty good with Q&A. You will have to get used to looking at the man pages since they really are where OBSD keeps it's documentation - and you will be expected to have at least read them when posting. As a firewall OBSD/pf is the most understandable as far as I'm concerned - less mental gymnastics - and a great deal of effort has gone into optimizing the whole network stack, so you will hear about people running firewalls on computers most corps trashed last century. :) goforit see: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#Setup.forward http://www.benzedrine.cx/pf.html http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1859 --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
