Darrick,

Thanks for the reply. The reason I need the info is that one of the end points 
uses a Verizon DSL pipe where the WAN address that they give us is a 
non-routable IP. I have been able to manage this box remotely by configuring 
the Verizon virtual firewall GUI to port forward TCP 443 & 22 to the WAN i/f of 
the astlinux box. I would like to setup an IPsec tunnel between this box and 
another astlinux box (which has a routable WAN IP), but I need to configure the 
port forwarding for this to work with Verizon's DSL. After some Google searches 
it looks like I want UDP 500 and TCP 1723. Is this correct?

I am aware of the requirement of static IP's for both endpoints. At the moment, 
our IPS's are providing dynamic addressing on both ends, but I'm happy to hard 
code the addresses that we have at the moment just for testing purposes.

Enjoy your vacation!

Tom,

The code that's in the 0.7 branch will automatically enable the 
appropriate firewall plugin.  For IPsec to currently work, you'll need 
to have a static IP address (so this won't work on a residential 
connection if your IP address changes frequently).  In the future we may 
support 'road-warrior' options.

I'm on vacation this week.  There are a few things we need to clean up 
yet in the 0.7 branch before we're ready for a beta.  The base works 
great.  If you build from the devel environment, you can safely take 
what's in 0.7 and create a working image.  You'll need to disable a few 
of the default packages to get a small enough image at this point.
