RE: WAN setup help.
This is kind of like the people that post to the automotive newsgroups questions like: I have a 2002 Dodge and I've been told that the transmission is shot, and that I can rebuild it on my kitchen table, can someone explain how to do this You would be better off using products like the Netgear FVS338 and getting support from Netgear on how to setup an intermeshed VPN.

There are many ways to do this, some that include using FreeBSD and even more that don't. I personally find that OpenVPN is easy to set up and configure and works quite well. It will run on FreeBSD, Windows, or other operating systems. It makes the most sense to use it if you already have PC's acting as routers in each location. Otherwise, it will likely be less expensive (both up-front and in the long run (power savings, etc) to buy standalone devices capable of creating VPN links. If you decide on a specific plan that involves FreeBSD, feel free to ask for more help getting it going.

Re: WAN setup help.
You need to first figure out how you will connect these locations. You can connect them peer-to-peer using leased lines (T-1's or fractional T-1's), or use standard broadband internet connections (DSL, or cable) and create VPN connections between the locations. You need to figure out connectivity first. -Derek At 02:08 AM 4/12/2006, Marwan Sultan wrote: Hello Gurus, I have a Head Office, and have 2 Restaurants in diffrent areas, I have been told that i can link them all together, WAN. them.

Marwn Sultan. Hi, I have recently configured a simple VPN to connect mobile users to a central office. With this experience behind me, my advice to you is to get a professional in your local area to do this for you. This may cost you a little more upfront but in the long run it will save you time, money, and a lot of headaches. From your question I believe it will take you a long time to accomplish what you want, you will spend money on equip- ment that you either don't need or doesn't do the job adequately if at all. And in the end you will have a configuration you may not be really satisfied with in terms of security and performance. I don't mean to sound unkind here or overly negative about what you can accomplish on your own given the time and money. But there are a lot of issues to take into consideration which you may not think are important now or which you may not even know exist that will have a big impact on what you need to do. I wish you the best of luck and I also want to assure you that what you want to do has been done many times and a professional should have no problems doing this for you. If he appears unsure of how to proceed then he probably hasn't done it before and is figuring it out as he goes.
