Re: Setting up VPN's



Hello!!

I did test some of these products, and I think:

-If you need windoz/linux direct interoperability, you could try ie cipe
or free/swan. But, free/swan is not the easiest to configure, and cipe
doesn't seem stable when using pk.

-If you need a tunnel and you can install linux boxes at each endpoint, then:
  - If you need only some forwardable services, try zebedee (maybe
stunnel?...). It's very very stable, easy to setup, and good in
performance.

  - If you need a real vpn, try vpnd if you are not paranoid with
encryption. When I used it, if I'm not wrong, It did support only
symetric (BlueFish) encryption with static keys. If you want anything
full of features but easy to configure, try openvpn. They're both easy
to setup, offer good performance, are quite stable, and need only an
open udp port.
