RE: VPN Speed
Hello, Using Linux or UNIX boxes for VPN is very cost-effective and will give you high perfomrnace VPN circuits. Just like what Ivan replied below, you could try that with Debian, or you also may want to take a look at http://vtun.sourceforge.net. Vtun however only works between UNIX boxes, it can be Linux on one end, and BSD on the other, or Solaris on the other.. As long as each end has UNIX systems that can run Vtun. However my experience with Vtun had been very good in terms of both reliability and performance. --hc On Thu, 17 Jan 2002, Ivan Hernandez Puga wrote: I have used sshd for linux and for WinNT/2K (http://sources.redhat.com) to get SSL port forwarding.

RE: VPN Speed
the best book i have found is Building and Managing Virtual Private Networks, by Dave Kosiur. It describes all methods of encryption and authentication. It's very good for understanding all the protocols involved. re the vpn speed - the Cisco Pix is very fast. here is a link to their product description page. http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/fw/sqfw500/ I looked into the Symantec and Sonicwall products, but their vendors couldn't even tell me how much memory the devices had. Cisco give you a very complete product description. Also, if you buy a support contract (pretty inexpensive), their tech support is outstanding. laura -Original Message- From: Winsley de Oliveira [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 3:28 PM To: Mike Carney; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: VPN Speed Mike You can use Sonicwall firewall to make your VPN tunnels.

Re: VPN Speed
For hardware VPN solutions, and price-performance I highly recommend the Netscreen line of appliances. For lower end use, the NS5XP is excellent. I use this box personally to connect all my VPN tunnels and remote offices. For higher end, the NS50, 200 series, 100, 500, and 1000 are ideal! They include customized ASIC technology, IDS, email alerts, a full stateful inspection firewall, and carrier class VPN services. The technology they use, which most all do is IPSEC. (which is what you want to look into) Check: http://www.netscreen.com Chat with me offline if you need more information, and how I think of the performance and benefits. sean.

Re: VPN Speed
What type of VPN solution are you looking for? LAN to LAN? or PC to LAN? or both? how many VPN tunnels do you require? How users are behind the firewall? Depending on the answer(s) you could look at Firewall One, Sonicwall, Watchguard, Nortel Contivity and Cisco PIX Firewall solutions with remote mobile licences. I would be happy to quote on suppling and possibly installation and management of the solution depending on the size. Kim Zayac Business Networks Inc.
