Tim, If they are just going to be Unix systems connecting in, check out vpnd. *VERY* simple to set up and maintain. Mine has been running for years without any problems.
For interoperability with other OS's, check out FreeSWAN (IPSEC) and PPTPd. Both of those require patches to a 2.4.x kernel. There is a free IPSEC implementation in the free PGP distribution for windows, and PPTP is built into windows already. A quick note: MS-CHAPv1 being used for authentication in PPTP is vulnerable to a very easy attack. Try to use a different auth mechanism. Hope that helps a bit. -Scott On Wed, 28 May 2003, Tim Hammerquist wrote: > Hey all. > > I'd like to build a VPN server/client system using (primarily) my > Debian 3.0 box.
