I have 2 choices =) PPTP (PopTop software) and L2TP (sorry .. have : some win98 boxes, so can't use freeswan with X.509 certificates) ... : : So .. what u think ? ... L2TP support in linux seems to be still in : alpha stage ... :o/ ... : : Is PPTP (with MS-CHAP 128 bits key <I think it's weak :/ .. isn't ? > ) : better than L2TP (but in alpha stage) ? ... : : Someone know other software (GPL/freeware) to do this ? ... :
In your situation I would use PPTP but I would protect all data passing on the link using other means (scp, ssl, ssh).
