Hello all! I have a small network at home which I am upgrading speedwise, i.e. I am about to go from 8 Mbit to 24 Mbit (ADSL2) on the WAN side. I intend then to use my FreeBSD 5.3 box as a firewall/NAT/proxy server.
Two questions: First, the big one: I sometimes work from home. Then I connect to the office from my XP laptop via a VPN tunnel (today I have a ZyXEL G2000 as fw/nat/router). So, if I put the FreeBSD box in place of the ZyXEL and the FreeBSD does ipfw/nat, will it still work with the VPN stuff? N.B., the FreeBSD box will not do the VPN stuff, just pass it through! I am using the Cisco client on the laptop if that matters. Like this: laptop with vpn -> FreeBSD with two network interfaces -> ADSL modem -> NET Anyone knows what happens if I put the ZyXEL as a wireless router between the laptop and FreeBSD; would VPN work then? VPN passes through the ZyXEL today without problem but can it pass through the two boxes? Second question: someone told me that the ZyXEL cannot handle 24 Mbit, therefor I want to use the FreeBSD box instead. Can FreeBSD handle 24Mbit from the ADSL modem? I think it can, anyone against? ;-) TIA! -- Per Berger /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / No HTML/RTF in e-mail http://www.stortsett.se/ X No Word docs in e-mail http://hav.just.nu/ / \ Respect for open standards _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
