Re: [Astlinux-users] Astlinux VPN endpoint for clients not behind it

If it were me, I would turn of the "routing" and wireless part of your DSL Router and just bridge directly to Astlinux. Astlinux would then become the router in your network and I would connect a Wireless AP or Router (in Bridge mode, routing turned off here too) to the LAN side of Astlinux. Note

Tom, Ahhh, you don't want to require your clients to have a IPSec client (Thanks David). No, other then David's VLAN suggestion, either requiring the clients to have a IPSec client, or add a WiFi Access Point behind (instead of in front) of the Remote AstLinux is needed. You must get the 'cli

Tom, I believe I have configured a very similar environment in my test lab, however I have used OpenVPN to do it. Basically, I have two pbx's linked via a VPN which passes my SIP traffic as well as anything else. Any client on the LAN side of either pbx can communicate with clients on the other

Lonnie may not have been clear enough. It will work only if each client has their own VPN client installed. Apple devices have it built in, for Windows you will have to download a client and run it. If the clients do not have a IPSec VPN Client and you are trying to use the AstLinux box as a bri

Am I getting confused? I don't think I've explained myself fully. The IPSec VPN is between two AstLinux boxes. Head office has one Astlinux box, remote office has another. The description I gave before was that of the remote office. I want the clients at the remote office to connect over the Astlin

Single IPs. I'm looking for a solution to the problem that my net5501 doesn't have wifi, but the router behind which it sits does. That's the only thing I'm trying to solve. So it should work? Thanks Tom -Original Message- From: Lonnie Abelbeck [mailto:li...@lonnie.abelbeck.com] Sent:

Tom, Are these 'clients' single IP's or subnets ? Assuming single IP's like mobile iOS, PC's, etc. using IPsec/XAuth (IPsec Mobile on AstLinux) should work, no different then if they originated via the public internet. You can "Push Network(s)" to the clients, but only if they support the Cisc

Hello all Subject line does not explain this very well. I've successfully set up AstLinux IPSec VPNs before. However, I'd like to know if it is possible to set it up as follows: Internet | DSL router - client | Astlinux More precisely, Astlinux would be cabled to the DSL router, while clie

perhaps can be a good solution use a 2,5" Solid State Disk or a 2,5" 44 pin IDE hard disk in behalf of compact flash, or use an external USB HD to store log files... I remember to have an old astlinux (0.4.x) installation on a net4801 using a 2,5" IDE 44 pin HD... bye Graziano Il 02/10/2012 1

Christopher, While using a temp file on RAM sounds like a good idea, it could actually be 'harder' on the CF card since you are writing the cumulative day's file every 30 minutes, the total bytes written for the day would be many times larger than the day's end size. It could be that appending
