Instead of IpCop you should use Smoothwall GPL. IpCop is a straight copy of Smoothwall GPL 0.99 except they haven't released updates to cover the secruity holes that the last 15 smoothwall patches.

Load software (about 10 minutes). And setup VPN on side, copy to diskette and load in other. That is it. There are better directions on the web pages. jackb > Sorry for being a little off-topic, but this seemed a good place to ask. > Can anyone point me in the direction of some tips as to how to set up a > reasonably secure VPN on the cheap?
