RE: Microsoft PPTP VPN server behind FIREWALL
I believe there is a userspace IPsec package, reasonably high overhead but runable where a patched kernel is politacally incorrect. Does that ring a bell with anyone? --
I've heard of this didn't like the idea though. Technically the trend is towards kernel level ipsec modules. Note 2.5 kernels. I tried pptp then an experimental 2.5 kernel. But I decided on using freeswan it's stable robust and relitivly easy to set up. My MS machines have no idea that the neighboring Domain is over 60 miles away.
Even though FreeS/WAN's documentation doesn't say this outright, almost all major distros have FreeS/WAN's kernel patches included and user-space tools available. SuSE and UL do since way back. begin On Tue, 25 Mar 2003 17:25:49 -0800 Rowan Reid <rreid@studio3arc.com> wrote:
