Give us more details of exactly what you'd like to do, and maybe we can answer the question. IE: "I want to connect a remote office with their own network to our own corporate network, with a Linux firewall/VPN box on each end. I'd also like to allow people on the road to access the corporate network from wherever they may be. These people have a mix of Windows and Linux laptops." There are a bunch of alternatives to FreeS/WAN (PoPToP, vpnd, L2TPd, sshd + pppd); I personally like FreeS/WAN the best, but I'm biased. :) Oh, there's also built-in IPSec (ported from KAME, IIRC) in the 2.5 kernels. -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500 _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
