Quoting Sven Peters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
VPNwise I was thinking about OpenVPN but still open to any other
products which are open source.
OpenVPN is pretty good in my opinion. Most of the other designs
(poptop) are implementations/copies of PPTP which is a proprietory
format.
I've used OpenVPN successfully with Samba and whilst there are
perphaps some delays it is still pretty useful.
I had already a look at http://lartc.org/howto/ and got some ideas but
it'll still be a lot of work to put together all the scripts.
True. There is always some script work to be done.
I personally have been a bit lazy/distracted with my project lately
and have some time to inject in this sort of thing again soon.
Also, I have some overseas programmers in Europe who love challenges
that are thrown at them. (I reward them by giving them financially
challenged projects :-) )
As it isn't such an uncommon problem I was wondering if somebody else
has a similar setup and likes to exchange experiences, ideas and
pitfalls. You can reach me off list.
Trick with VPNs is to do them incrementally. ie:
- start with making the connection
- "extend" the network
- add load-balancing
- add configuration
- add management
voila!
final thing:
- get your friends all over the world to share (home-made) movies
and mp3 recordings from their band.....
just joking..... I actually hate it when they do that.... :-(
