Thanks for the clarification. I think right now, what I'm gonna do is find a how to on how to do NAT in PIX to forward inbound connection to my office workstation and start from there. Do you have links on easy how-to reference on doing that. Thanks.
Jun ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In a word, no. OpenVPN is a true SSL VPN solution more or less equivalent to IPsec, in that it will provide a real encrypted tunnel to your private network using encrypted UDP packets. It is not an SSL gateway system operating over HTTP, such as an F5 Firepass, a Juniper Neoteris, or SSL Explorer, which is what you might be thinking of (a pet peeve of mine is that the industry has hijacked the term "SSL VPN" to mean these kinds of systems, which aren't true VPN's at all, more like encrypted application proxies). To be able to use OpenVPN in your setup, you'll probably need to set up a NAT on your PIX firewall to forward inbound connections to the OpenVPN UDP port (1194 by default) to your office workstation or whatever system you want to use as your VPN router. If all you really want to do is access your office workstation (presumably GNU/Linux based), all you need to do is create a NAT for SSH to your workstation, and away you go. There's plenty that you can do with just an SSH connection and the proper use of tunneling.
