I am no expert, just a user: my employer uses Cisco VPN for remote access. Last I knew Cisco had VPN clients available for Windows and for (some version of) Linux. There's no official FreeBSD client AFAIK, but ports/security/vpnc seems to work well for the purpose. I have no idea how the Cisco end is set up, but have gotten the impression that it may involve some sort of Cisco proprietary extensions to IPSEC. _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
