Re: OpenVPN and Juniper

[Jerome BENOIT <jgmbenoit@mailsnare.net>]

Hello Mark,

Thanks for your remarks.

By Juniper I meant the Juniper VPN stuff (version 6.4.0):
I want to connect with my laptop from my home to my organization which
holds a Juniper VPN network via SSL.

I can with the Linux material furnished by Juniper
( http://www.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de/~iwr91/juniper ),
but this material is not designed in a Linux way
(in partilcular it allows regular users to mess system wide network
configuration files).

My current guess is that OpenVPN can do a far better job.

Thanks,
Jerome
