RE: secure vpn or telnet sessions

["Trevor Cushen" <Trevor.Cushen () sysnet ie>]

Do you want to use Telnet over a VPN session?

SSH2 should replace the telnet session and SSH can be run over or though
a VPN connection.  I had this problem and a W2K VPN solution worked
perfectly as follows.


Client(W2K Pro with IPSEC client and SSH client)-->Internet-->W2K VPN
Server-->My Unix server(SSH2 Server)

The client would establish a VPN session to my VPN server and get
assigned a ip address etc and all 3des encryption for traffic.  Then on
their desktop they had a ssh client tool to open a session to the unix
server.  Of course the ssh will not work until the vpn link is
established.  Very easy setup and very secure as really everything is
encrypted and multiple authentication is used.  With no hassle for the
end user and easier to setup then might appear judgeing by this email.

Hope this helps.

To all

I need some help, 

Need to find out what would be the very best way to set up either one of
these two types of sessions, using encryption, and password protection,
etc.

VPN
TELNET,

Thanks for your help.
