Re: [SLUG] VPN Win32--Linux?
I have also found http://www.natecarlson.com/include/showpage.php?cat=linuxpage=ipsec-x509 to be very helpful too Tim White www.freeswan.org :) Also, there's a heap of links in their documentation to other sites... Extremely useful is this site: http://vpn.ebootis.de/ I don't think I've read the docs there, but they should be good.. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

It seems my options are: 1) PoPToP + Windows Dialup Networking implementations which are relatively insecure but easy to set up. 2) Freeswan and IPSEC which is secure but requires Win2K with windows high encryption package installed.

You can use a piece of software like Netscreen remote to get road warriors to freeswan nicely. works well on win98 to give them ipsec. PPTP is a native solution for most windows OS'es However because your sites are permanent I would strongly consider whacking dedicated VPN boxes at each end and just having a meshed IPSEC setup to cover it. dave -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

[SLUG] VPN Win32--Linux?
Any suggestions/pointers to docs on setting up VPNs between Linux and windows? I haven't found googlejuice yet that has shown me anything I want, so I'm appealing to the wider knowledge of SLUG... I would prefer the windows end of the link to be as easily configured as possible, as our support people may have to do it. :) -- Jessica Mayo.

www.freeswan.org :) Also, there's a heap of links in their documentation to other sites... Extremely useful is this site: http://vpn.ebootis.de/ I don't think I've read the docs there, but they should be good.. what really rocks tho is the tool provided there that reads a config file which is bassically the same as freeswan's config for the connection, and sets up win2k/winXP for you... I found this particularly useful in a situation where the clients were road warriors on winXP laptops.. rather than having to go into 16 control panels and change 42 settings each time their IP address changed (ie, each time they dialed up), the users were provided with a single icon on their desktop - just connect to the net, doublce-click on the icon, and voila, she is operational..
