the most important question is, what type of vpn concentrator do you have?  if
it happens to be a cisco vpn3000, the try this:

/usr/ports/security/vpnc

other wise, google [your vpn model] freebsd and see what turns up.

2006-08-31 Thread Jim Stapleton

I'm trying to VPN in to work from home, and the IT group there only
supports windows. There are Cisco pre-configured clients for Linux,
MacOS X, and Windows available, but not BSD.

I tried running the Linux binary, but it wanted to move to a
nonexistant driectory, and didn't tell me which directory it couldn't
find, so I couldn't make the proper symlink.

I looked through the VPN via IPSEC portion of the handbook, but was
left wanting. Anyone know of a better howto?

My questions from the VPN/IPSEC section:
(1) My machine isn't the router - can it still work?
(2) I don't want to send a lot of garbage to the VPN connection,
should I connect the loopback (127.0.0.1), my local ip (192.168.1.84),
or create a new loopback or virtual network connection (how?)



Thanks,
