a bit OT - VPN+Windows
could You put me to some manual about configuring any king of VPN (with encryption at least, preferable compression too) with windows machines as clients and FreeBSD as servers. i used VPN's many times but always with unix on both sides and used vtun which works great. unfortunately there is no vtun for windows. thanks ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Try OpenVPN. It's in the ports, and it also has a fancy Windows GUI client available, similar to the Cisco or SonicWall VPN clients... -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: a bit OT - VPN+Windows
There are various VPN solutions available depending on your needs for the network so no one answer will cover everything. Currently I am using OpenVPN with great success and resonable security as well. Homepage: http://www.openvpn.org One of the nice things about this solution is you can customize the OpenVPN GUI (http://openvpn.se/). Even my most computer cluess employee's can use this. There are various IPSEC solutions but you run into a client issue in a lot of cases for the Windows side.

I have used poptop (AKA pptpd) - in the ports collection, but the really useful information is at: http://www.pingle.org/2006/04/11/getting-poptop-to-run-under-freebsd-5-6 However, two points: 1. pptpd is built for Linux. For FreeBSD user-land ppp is used, no matter what you specify, and so the config file is /etc/ppp/ppp.conf. Anything you say about this setting in /usr/local/etc/pptpd.conf is ignored, and the ppp.conf file used instead. Also, some settings are repeated in both ppp.conf and pptpd.conf - the ppp.conf settings take precedence. The ppp.conf needs to specify a label for pptpd to use, and it is: pptp: (normal ppp directives follow this) 2. You need to set your FreeBSD system to be a gateway (gateway_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf) and some routing and ARP stuff enabled in rc.conf: arpproxy_all=YES forward_sourceroute=YES accept_sourceroute=YES I have it working at a fairly large site where people use XP at home and access the Windows stuff through a FreeBSD 6.1 gateway.

OpenVPN gets my vote as an easy to use cross-platform VPN. Runs on just about everything. Compression is available, password or certificate based authentication, high level encryption, NAT and firewall friendly. The add-on windows GUI makes installation and setup easy for non-unix types. /usr/ports/security/openvpn docs and good sample configs: http://openvpn.net/ windows gui: http://openvpn.se/ -- Noel Jones ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am using a vpnc which came along with freebsd6.1 which is using IPSEC and Xauth I found using the vpnc along with rdesktop to access remote windows servers is real fast. vpnc is no frills, straight command line and just a single config file.
