I'm planning on having WEP turned on so non-ssh-tunneled channels (e.g. windows shared folders) can still have a level of protection, albeit weaker. #> 4. SSH tunnel everything from the wireless nodes -- HTTP, POP/SMTP, etc. # #Another possibility is to set up a VPN from your wireless node to your #gateway. This may also address the issues you're asking about in the #following lines. And shouldn't this also cover all our bases, e.g. #piggy-backing on connection & off-the-air sniffing? #> I've just started looking at possible use of VPN in the wireless segment of my network. Looks like using VPN between the gateway, and the wireless nodes is a better solution that WEP+SSH-tunneling. Should I go with the VPN solution, what client software can I use for the Windows-based wireless nodes? Any open source ones available? I wonder if CheckPoint SecureRemote client can be used with IPSec/FreeSWAN servers.. hmm. Thanks, jeff -- -- Jeff Gutierrez Pinoy Ako! May reklamo?
