Thanks All.
What i was more wondering was, have people tested this with
Windoze for one and secondly, how have people found the
compatability for lower end routers like some of these "DSL
routers" which have IPSEC built in .... not your major brands like
Cisco etc.. but more like your netcomm etc..
I've tried IPSec from IPCop with a Watchguard. Works fine. There's
even a HOWTO on the IPCop home page which helps you get going. The
Watchguard isn't a low end router though (well, IMHO it is a low
end router, but it has a high end price tag).
Never tried IPCop or FreeS/WAN against a Netcomm or anything.
It is probably going to work, however, since as far as I know
both ends can be set up for manual keying which is your lowest
common denominator in that department.
Really, for $600 you can throw together a PC, chuck IPCop on it,
and it will eat for breakfast anything that D-Link or Netgear
throw at it. By the time you factor in the download savings you
get from using the transparent proxy and stuff, it doesn't cost
a whole lot more either.
