This email is meant to describe how to setup the VPN
capabilities of Kaboodle. If these instructions down't work for
you....lemme know! I may have missed something.
To experience the VPN capability, startup Kaboodle on
two machines that are connecting to the Internet via two
different ISPs, then follow these steps:
1. After Kaboodle is installed, open the VPN Service icon's
Property Panel by double-clicking on it. The VPN Service
icon is the top row, in the "My Services" group. Click on the
Tab that says "Remote Networks" and click the button in that
window thats says "Create New Partnership". This should
activate your default web-browser, and point it to the
GetEngaged website at www.GetEngaged.net.
2. First, you need to register. Pick a username and a password,
and try not to forget them (it's very difficult for me to
reset them if you forget it).
3. After you register, in the left-hand-side banner, click on
"download registration file". Save this tiny little file to
somewhere safe, and then double click on it. This will register
your Kaboodle for VPN'ing.
4. After the registration is complete, go back to the GetEngaged
website and log on using the account/password you made for
yourself in step #2. In the left hand side, click on the
"create new partnership" link. Enter the email address that
your partner used in their step #2. Likewise, your partner
connects and enters your info.
5. When the server validates that you've both connected and
both entered the same (optional) common password, you'll
see their name in a list with a "download partnership file"
link next to their name. Click on that link.
6. Just like with the registration file, this will download a
small Partnership file to your PC. Once it's downloaded,
double-click on it to install the partnership.
7. Quit Kaboodle and restart it (this is a bug, we're working
on it...)
8. You're now ready to initiate a VPN. In Kaboodle, double-click
on the VPN icon again in the "My Services" group. The top
part of the first panel should confirm your registration
status and show that you're connected OK with the partner
discovery service. Go to the "Remote Network" panel. The list
there should now show the partnership you installed in step 6.
In the list, select the partner you want to connect with and hit
Connect.
9. This VPN uses TCP ports 1782 and 4182, in case one or both of
the partners are behind a firewall.
That should do it! Right now, in version 0.90, you cannot
tunnel data across the VPN connection. We're working on that, though,
for version 1.0. In that one, you'll be able to (say) VNC to a remote
PC while "inside" of Kaboodle, and it will automatically use the secure
Kaboodle VPN connection to tunnel the VNC data. Or file-transfer.
Or whatever else Kaboodle will be able to do.

Hope it proves useful!
