Its Cisco VPN for Linux and Solaris Release 3.7
I ran this successfully on SUSE 8.2 for load testing purposes. I had it stop and restart the connection every 5 minutes on a bunch of machines for about 2 weeks. The only odd thing I noticed was that sometimes it would take a few minutes to unload the kernel module. I used the 'vpn-install' script to install it. In your other message:
The Client machine gets its IP address changed dynamically and does not respond if accessed by its original static IP so long as VPN is running. Instead the Server machine retains its original IP address working. Moreover, if I start VPN CLient remotely on my home computer from the lab computer (Server) then I cannot reach my home computer any more from the lab.
This is normal behaviour. All traffic is routed through the VPN by default for security reasons. If the machine was still accessable through it's normal IP and there was a security hole, someone could potentially get into your private network via your machine. That would make your VPN useless. That said, there is an option to allow you to route through your original connection, but I forget what it is off-hand and I wouldn't recommend using it. - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/u4yE+FOexA3koIgRAotTAJ92MoMJ0JlH8JOYXdVVYoTDpflJCQCfTMxQ O5NO/33/lahPgDPuANryag4= =fMks -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
