hi all,
im gonna be setting up a couple of vpn's between some of our offices
(and maybe later including the traveling sales-people), so i've been
reading what I can about various implementations of vpn's. now I want
your opinion.
im wondering what sort of client/server software i can find for pptp (is
that an ms protocol?), ipsec (i've heard great things about this, but
does it only work in the 2.0 kernel series), and whatever else exists
for linux that I haven't heard about yet.
the various protocols need to be able to masqeraude, as the boxen they
live on will either be fire walls, or behind fire walls.
is this making sense? what was handed to me was sorta broad, so I'm
tyring my best to clarify.
thanks in advance for all your help.
-Peter
