Nothing really that special; I can't get ADSL at my current residence so I'm running a WEP'ed wireless link (utilising Debian+HostAP+Prism cards) up the road to a client of mine who can. As WEP is bloody awful, I also tunnel an encrypted connection that everything is routed over (and all traffic is encapsulated); pptpd was what I found worked well at the time writing/packaging the solution (over 2 years ago now, ignoring routine upgrades). The internal connections are just for wireless (a second Prism/HostAP card); wifi hands out dhcp, but you're on a lone nonrouted subnet until you VPN in from a client machine (and you get an IP on the local ethernet subnet). I much prefer tunneling/encrypting each individual connection rather than using a shared encryption scheme such as WEP; I don't want other users sniffing my traffic. I'm in the midst of moving it to a completely different solution right now, actually, which probably is a bit more interesting :-) R -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
