I'm glad you said that, rather than me -- because, last time I gave that answer, on the Silicon Valley Linux User Group mailing list, I was flamed to a crisp for "not answering the question". (Some guy asked how to implement PPTP on Linux, and I tried to suggest that it was a strategic mistake, citing Schneier and others.) > Best bet as of now is IPsec FreeS/WAN. http://www.freeswan.org/ Yes, that's what I've found, too. Be careful about upgrades, though, since FreeS/WAN is extremely kernel-dependent. I would recommend having dedicated VPN boxes on both sides, and leaving them alone as much as possible. -- Cheers, "All my life, I wanted to _be_ someone.
