All,

If anyone would like to use FreeBSD as a VPN gateway but have the usual Win2K/XP clients to support, here is a free software product that may be of interest ...

The VPN Client was designed to work with ipsec-tools + FreeBSD as the gateway but others such as NetBSD have been tested. Features include multiple XAuth user authentication modes, automatic client network configuration, remote network topology download, NAT Traversal, IKE fragmentation and transport pre-fragmentation ( ala NetBSD 3.0 ). The latter three are useful for clients behind NAT devices or broken DSL/Cable routers that drop large or fragmented UDP packets.

If you are interested in using NAT-T, you should have a look at Yvans kernel patch which offers everything but transport pre-fragmentation support ...

Feedback and bug reports are appreciated ( off this list ).
