Hi, We are looking to setup a VPN for our network, which includes internal and external network. I was wandering if any one could give me some hints or tips what to use what not to use. Do we use hardware or software?
Thanks
Kevin
What exactly are you wanting? What do you mean by internal and external networks? For the VPN itself, you could look at either IPSEC or CIPE. If all you want to do is provide secure access to certain people to your internal network, look at SSH - it's much simpler. Bear in mind that if you're setting up a VPN from your network to someone else's then you're letting your guard down. If the remote network is maintained by someone else and that person isn't as diligent as they should be, you may be opening a door to your network that you don't really want to. If you can give some more info on what you want, we may be able to provide more help Gary -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000
