Re: Setting up a VPN
I've recently implemented OpenVPN under FreeBSD For our team, it's been rock solid I found the OpenVPN docs were excellent for Windohs/Linux but were lacking a little for BSD while i don't know openvpn i use mpd (for windows interoperability) and vtun (for unix only) both works excellent. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Setting up a VPN
particular piece of Windows VPN technology is better relegated to history, much in the same way as the Holocaust and other disasters. as the whole windoze. but people use it - their problem. so if they use - let they have win-VPNs, and mpd gives it and works fine. i don't know how secure is windows-vpn. possibly not much, but who cares? anyone who cares about security should just don't use windows at all. those who like to "feel secure" - feels secure. that's all. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Not sure I agree with the mpd recommendation. In my experience, that particular piece of Windows VPN technology is better relegated to history, much in the same way as the Holocaust and other disasters. If you're having trouble understanding IPsec, don't worry. IPsec is confusing. The biggest problem with IPsec is that it's more complicated than it needs to be. Based on your description of your requirement, I suggest pursuing an OpenVPN solution. I've done this with FreeBSD/Windows. There's a neat tool to generate .msi files for Windows machines to allow users idiot- proof installation, which I've had good success with, and the simple VPN you describe is pretty easy to set up from this HOWTO: http://openvpn.net/index.php/documentation/howto.html#pki -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Setting up a VPN
Hey, I'm looking for information on how to setup a Virtual Private Network on a FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE system. The only VPNs that I've worked with if you need unix-unix VPN use /usr/ports/net/vtun if unix-windoze - then use /usr/ports/net/mpd that's all :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Setting up a VPN
Hey, I'm looking for information on how to setup a Virtual Private Network on a FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE system. The only VPNs that I've worked with previously is Hamachi on windows and linux, so I have no experience in OpenVPN or IPSec. The purpose of this VPN is to restrict certain things to only administrators. For example, phpmyadmin and vsFTPd. I'd prefer not to have these things listen on the public interface. I read the Handbook entry on IPSec/VPNs: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ipsec.html However, that entry only has examples for how to connect one network to another network via FreeBSD gateways. I don't want a setup like this; I just want the freebsd system, my windows XP system, and a few other windows XP systems to be on a VPN together. Can anyone link me to how-tos or any references on how to do this? Also, any suggestions on which software to use (OpenVPN, IPSec, etc) would be appreciated. Thanks. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
