doesn't anybody use tunnelling / vpn?
AAUGH! NOBODY seems to be tunneling anywhere. i must be alone...
my inquiries about vpn and tunnelling have met with deafening silence.
am i the only person trying to get these going? it seems like such
a no-brainer tool that i'd expect LOTS of us to be using vpn
(or trying to get it running).
or is there a club meeting somewhere that gathers to laugh at all
my ignorant posts on the issue? (on the other hand, maybe y'all
are waiting for me to finally munch my bloodied head through the
other end so you can ask me how i did it? expect a looong wait.)
i'm going NUTS here... help! pointers would be handy, but i've
found many documents hither and yon on the 'net and NONE have been
turnkey... there's always some obscure obstacle or error message
that i have no clue as to the meaning behind it.
is there a debianized tunnel module i can get running?
not tunnelv
tried iptunnel
got pptpd
moving on to something that makes sense to me (and works)
--
i've tried tunnelv, ipip, ipsec, several others. shotgun/machine-gun
approach: apt-get install, try, be baffled by errors or no results, try
another. no hits. dead ends everywhere, without understanding
anything of the messages behind them.
even with
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO-5.html
i'm not having ANY success.
# iptunnel add TEST mode gre remote 208.33.90.85 local 208.7.139.219 ttl 255
# ip addr add 192.168.0.1 dev TEST
Cannot send dump request: Connection refused
what's that mean?
# lsmod

some dox i've seen mention needing the "new_tunnel.o" module.

help? help. help!
