Hello, I have two questions regarding vpn.
(1) My institute has a vpn net to which I would like to connect from home. This would save me a lot of ssh'ing because currently I have to go through two "portals"; there are also other intersting things, such as being able to download papers from online Journals since our institute has subscribed to virtually all existing journals in our field. So this is the first newbie question: How do I connect to the vpn net (of course I have all passwds etc) from my OpenBSD laptop? The machines in the institute are linux but I think this is irrelevant. (2) Also, I have internet at home, of course. I can use wireless and it's working pretty well but I am worried about security. WEP is out of question, because you can break that one in a couple of 3 minutes if you have a strong signal; I know it because I have played a lot with aircrack for this at home with my own net and it takes that amount of time. WPA is certainly more secure but with a good dictionary I believe (never did it) that if you can gather some 3 hours of packets you should be able to break the password in some hours. So I read "somewhere" (newbie, newbie) that you can use vpn to create very secure wireless connection points. Is this true? If so, how can this be done? How in/compatible is this with pf? thanks, Pau _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
