Hello,
Locally I have several Suse boxes and a remote server running Redhat Enterprise. I'd like to setup an IP tunnel to connect my network to the remote server. Any suggestions on the best way to do this?
I think you have three options: 1) ipsec-tunnel 2) openvpn, tun,tap 3) ssh-tunnel, tun

Thank you, Hans.
I was looking into vtun, but was hoping that ssh-tunnel would work. Could I route traffic between two networks connected by an ssh tunnel? If so, could you point me to some howto's so I could set this up.
Again, many thanks.

Hi James, Have the details / scripts @ work But you can find most details in: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/539 http://charles.karney.info/tunnel/index.html https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH_VPN http://blog.rot13.org/2009/04/simple_network_to_network_vpn_with_openssh_and... On a good network it works very nice... Note however, It an easy method using pre-shared-keys (in contrast with certificates) You might run into problems if applied over un unreliable network, like wifi. because it's doing a nested TPC layer ontop of another TCP layer. And if TCP is causing much re-transmissions you might end up in doing only re-transmissions ;-) In those situations openvpn (ip over udp) or ipsec (even less overhead openswan/strongswan) might be better. hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
