-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I think there's wide support for the notion that PPTP is fundamentally useless, and IPSec/L2TP is much more desirable if the choice is between those two options.
Here are a couple of references to Bruce Schneier's analysis of the PPTP in particular: http://www.counterpane.com/pptp-faq.html http://www.counterpane.com/pptpv2-paper.html scotty - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonathan Kimpson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 6:11 AM Subject: Comparison of VPN methods I am being asked to setup a VPN arrangement for some of our staff to work from home. Our system is an NT domain behind a firewall and with a dmz. I would like to know if there are any comparisons of products/technologies to achieve such tasks as: - - connecting to exchange server - - connecting to SQL server - - mapping drives I am a little confused as to the best way to deploy a solution- use PPTP out of an NT server or use L2TP on W2K? and where to place the server- in the dmz or within the LAN? If I employ NAT does that preclude me from one method? Any resources gratefully received. ___________________________ Jonathan Kimpson i·teba Phone: +44 (0)20-7841 3300 Fax: +44 (0)20-7841 3301 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.iteba.com _______________________________ NOTICE - This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual to whom they are addressed.
