Re: VPN client software for Linux
Be very careful doing this. You're connecting a relatively insecure environment for many people (home network) directly inside your corporate firewall. If you're big enough to have a legal department, ask them to try to write something specific that your end-users have to sign -- but it still won't protect you from their mistakes. And the real fun is watching the legal department have kittens. :) On Thu, Nov 23, 2000 at 12:07:55PM -, Diarmuid Drew wrote: My employer uses Checkpoint Firewall 1 and I use VPN-1 SecureClient as a VPN client on windows.

Re: VPN client software for Linux
If you have a static IP it is possible. Checkpoint has directions on what you have to do on the Checkpoint firewall and on the linux server. You should be able to find it on their public part of their knowledge base. It treats the Linux box as a remote firewall. So it is very different from secure remote. It is more like setting a VPN tunnel between a Cisco PIX box and a checkpoint box. Also by Secure Remote is often deployed using the FWZ algorithm which is only used by checkpoint, so freeswan won't work with that.

Re: VPN client software for Linux
pptp is for ms vpn, I haven't been able to make it work, it does something but never receives response from the other side (and the other side (server) works fine with ms vpn client). erik Pollywog wrote: On Wed, 22 Nov 2000 09:48:12 -0800, Erik Steffl said: go to linuxdoc.org and search for vpn howto I will try that.

be sure both your isp and the remote end's isp is routing GRE packets, if not PPTP will fail.
