I'm looking for a solution to the following VPN setup:
FreeBSD server on public IP address
Private, firewalled office LAN
Road warrior laptop users requiring access to the LAN
Users are anywhere in the world, possibly behind NAT
Users run Win2k or XP
Client software must be minimal, and easy to install and
configure
It must be reliable
Minimal budget
Minimal patching and tweaking of server software would be a bonus. I'm
prepared to get my hands dirty a little, but something that just werks
without in-depth knowlege about IPSec and protocols would be good too.
The need for a Windows pointy-clicky interface appears to imply use of
either L2TP or PPTP. Getting Ipsec working to an XP machine, using
Racoon and shared secrets seems to work OK. But I've just wasted a day
trying to get either of poptop and l2ptd working. The debugging output
is terrible, and I'm not sure if my ppp configs are at all sane.
If anyone has a working Poptop or l2tpd setup, could they possibly give
me a look at their config (including ipsec and ppp config)? I think I am
missing something, but I'm not sure what.
Alternatively, if anyone has advise on other solutions to this problem
(including paying small sums for alternative software/hardware) then I'm
all ears.
Jon
