short answer: plenty... (1) ssh tunnels, in particular tunneling PPP over ssh (+) easy to setup (-) only works linux-linux (-) tunnels everything over tcp. (2) CIPE (+) comes with redhat. (+) a bit better performances (UDP, not TCP like ssh) (o) harder to setup then ssh, but not as hard as IPSEC ;-) (-) no Windows support I know off. (3) FreeSwan (IPSEC) (+) full IPSec implementation. Very interoperaple. (+) very flexible (-) pain to setup (-) problems with NAT (4) PPTP (Microsoft VPN) (+) works great with all versions of Windows. (+) not hard to setup. (-) frequently considered less secure then alternatives. (-) not as flexible and not as good interoperable as IPSec. (but works great as long as you deal with Windows/Linux machines) There is a pretty good New Riders book: Building Linux VPNs. It walks you through all these systems (and probably a couple more I forgot) -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Collaborative Intrusion Detection join http://www.dshield.org
