This is very general question:
Our organization currently have Dial-up server(Using Cisco Dialup
Router). But soon we are planning for some kind of VPN access such than
people worlking from homes and remote offices can dial in through thier
ISPs directly. Considering the cost benefit service like PPTP can be a
viable option. Can somebody throw light on this technology:
The goal here is:
[1]Provide low cost dial-up solution for on the road/remote users. What
are the possible solutions here?
[2]Should be secure enough both encryption wise and authentication wise.
We want authetication more than just NT Domain/NIS login/passwd. I
have heard about Secure Key IDs, any ideas on these(will prefer low
cost again). Freeware/shareware more than welcome.
Other points for our considerations:
->Does Cisco provides PPTP implemenation yet and if yes how good is
that?? Is the idea of Routing/Packet-filtering and
PPTP service on one box good at all.
->Is Linux implemenation of PPTP is good enough.
->Pros and Cons of Microsoft PPTP server. Can this be considered secure
enough if we just open PPTP related ports to it and block other
access.
->Where should we put this PPTP server infront of or behind
Firewall/Packet filtering box.
Any response will be greatly appreciated. I will summarize finally.
