Re: [off-ish]VPNs - free is better
Hi Chip, I use VPN a lot. For small Installations the free pfsense.org (openvpn) is well known. I have used it for 15 years without problems with 6 Clients. A good and free openvpn Mac Client is tunnelblick.org. A old PC could be a start, it runs also on esxi. Readymade Appliances can be bought here: https://store.netgate.com/Routers-C178.aspx and https://www.pfsense.org/products/ Lately I installed one of these https://www.ipu-system.de/ , and liked it very much. This could be the same HW: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32920921042.html If you buy Hardware for pfsense check for cryptographic-accelerator-support (AES_NI) https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/hardware/cryptographic-accelerator-support.html#cryptographic-accelerator-support . Take also a look at the pfsense fork: https://opnsense.org/ Promising but very new is https://www.wireguard.com/ For big, commercial Installation use Juniper Appliances https://www.pulsesecure.net/customer-success/juniper-success/ Bernd ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) New Forum: https://discuss.4D.com Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **

Re: [off-ish]VPNs - free is better
Hi Chip What is the “recent legislation” you’re referring to ? I don’t use a private VPN for accessing clients but do use a public one for all my internet use (NordVPN). It’s excellent, cheap and lets you switch between static and dynamic IPs according to need. (e.g. I have a client network I access via Windows RDP that whitelists only known IPs. When accessing I switch to the static IP I have reserved by the VPN service. For all other internet use and casually browsing I use a dynamic IP but still on the VPN).
