RE: VPN recomendations
Hello All
Tunnelv is a userland package that works via the ethertap device. It
is quite neat and totally secure.
But it has a bug that conflicts with diald. Diald will also use the
ethertap device if the kernel supports it. The bug is that both
packages insist on using the first device "tap0" - at the same time.
I could not find an easy solution to make one of them use "tap1" - I
must still file a bug report.
Also the debian (potato) package is a bit lacking in scripts for
starting and stopping the daemon. You will need to put together
some clever stuff to put in /etc/init.d/tunnelv (which is not in the
package) and maybe in /etc/ppp/ip-up and /etc/ppp/ip-down on the
other end. I suppose it all depends on what kind of network you
are working on.
