Re: [PLUG] Need help regarding VPN
* Dnyanraj Mali dnyanraj.m...@gmail.com [100819 06:53]: Hi All, I want to know how to setup use VPN connection from Ubuntu (or any Linux machine).. If anyone has setup VPN before, can you please tell me which server client you are using? and what are the reasons to choose that particular architecture. I am some sort of VPN hobbist. I sometimes use vpns professionally, but generally i set them up for friends who are travelling and like a secure connection. i personally prefer openvpn, easy to setup, very good ssl security etc. Packt pub. has a book on it which is quite decent read. Even their online tuts are good enough. If you want to do something limited I find even ssh tunnelling sufficent for many purposes.

Re: [PLUG] Need help regarding VPN
Thank you both of you.. I have started reading about OpenVPN. What architecture would you recommend me if i want to setup this VPN + DNS + Proxy + firewall for some organization? What things should be taken care of? Will you recommend to use something like webmin, nagios, vnc etc for monitoring hosts or ssh is better option? ___ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List

Regards, Dnyanraj ___ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List OpenVPN is most used. it's easy and robust. There are other products as well like openswan, but openvpn is more widely used i guess. arun. ___ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
