Thanks to efforts of Lynn and Chad earlier, I got into putting up my Bering box as a VPN server. I've used Marcus Muller's IPSEC utility to build the VPN. Chad's chapter described the IPSec tool in detail. I learnt it and used it as well as I could. The base utility cannot handle an open endpoint like 0.0.0.0/0. This is overcome by the utility by defining the tunnels for every session by acquiring the IP of the Dial up or LAN interface. It uses the command line utilities given by MS to delete and define the policies/filters.
I've made a Howto combining Lynn's document, Chad's document and my own additions apart from the details from Marcus Muller's site. Freeswan 1.96 upwards does not require fswcert extraction. Thus that part from Chad's document has been deleted and declaration in ipsec.secrets has been modified accordingly. The Howto has been uploaded to my files section in HTML format exported from Word(pardon me for this as this is my current desktop editor). I'd like to have comments and if found to be relevant, be made of the Bering User's Manual - merged with Chad's chapter. It is currently the only file in my directory. It appears when I login and look at the files section. It does not, however, appear in the CVS view nor in the public files view. Need time to learn on how that is done I guess.
