Well, Aventail looked good (to me at first), but ask them about UDP based applications (like Remedy help desk). Aventail does not support (or encrypt) UDP based traffic. So you will hit a problem with UDP based applications. They will not work. hope this helps Pez P.S. Check InfoExpress... It is very much like Aventail but with more options... --- Shaun Moran <Shaun () TheMorans Com> wrote:
As far as commercial solution are involved - I'm pretty impressed with the Aventail Connection solution - It uses socks5 with the Data SSL encrypted. The beauty of this is that the VPN tunnel works through NAT devices and even HTTP proxy server if you want. The downside seems that it only has Windows Clients (you can use standard UNIX socks client minus the crypto) and that it is a Client-Server VPN only. Unlike IPSEC which is anything-anything. Shaun Ps - don't have - never have - probably never will work for aventail - just reporting what I think and my views reflect no one elses - really !!! -----Original Message----- From: owner-firewall-wizards () lists nfr net [mailto:owner-firewall-wizards () lists nfr net]On Behalf Of Mailing Lists Sent: Thursday, 9 December 1999 1:22 AM To: firewall-wizards () nfr net Subject: VPN solution needed (linux<->win32) or (nt<->win32) Hi. I'm looking at implementing a VPN for my network. Basically, I actually have a linux firewall (ip filtering + masquerading) connected over a cable modem line. I want to access an internal server over untrusted networks (a friend's internet connection, the office or my own dialup account with another provider when I'm on the road). First scenario (preferred): what would be a free VPN solution using my existing linux fw? Second: what would be a non-free using my linux? third: what are the alternatives using NT as a FW? I search and read on the subject, but would rather like to ear from personal experience on the field. I already looked at Cybernetica's Secure Socket Agent (SSA) built over a SSL connection which is free for home and educational purposes but don't know about the technology is good or if any of you have a better solution or experience. Thanks!
