I havent actually setup a VPN, but think I understand the very basic concepts of a tunnel. Applying to a real life situation is confusing me a little. I have a need to setup a remote office for a customer. They have a 2500 with a very basic NAT configuration, listed below my signature. They do not have a firewall sitting between them and the Internet (not my choice). They have a DSL connection at the remote office.
In order for the few PCs in the remote office to have access to the main office servers, do I even need to build a tunnel since they have no firewall? If I want to use a tunnel, how do you get a tunnel between two routers without running the 3DES on the Cisco in the main office? The DSL Router is a no-name from the telco. Any suggestions would be appreciated!! Jeffrey Reed Classic Networking, Inc.
