RE: VPN for *DSL/CableModem Users

["Jensen, Greg" <Greg_Jensen () NAI com>]

The latest VPN gear from PGP Security is centered around the Gauntlet VPN
Firewall (available on NT and Unix), the WebShield E-ppliance (Sun Netra
Appliance with Gauntlet pre-configured).  On the client side, PGP Security
is about to release the PGP Desktop Security 7.0 product.  This product has
the orginal features of e-mail and data encryption and a VPN client that is
IPSec (with Mode-Cfg support), and new this year is full blown Personal
Firewall and Personal Intrusion Detection in one package.  This makes it the
world's first and only single install product with all 5 of these core
security products. In addition, PGP Security has also thrown in a few cool
things like ICQ encryption. Available for Win95/98/NT/Win2k and Mac.

My initial inclination would be to reccommend some VPN software based on
IPSec.  Windows 2000 actually uses IPSec and should be much improved over
the PPTP software built-in to NT.  Also, 3Com and a number of other
companies have produced network cards that handle a bunch of the
encryption-related stuff in hardware, and have Windows 2000 drivers
specifically intended for their use as VPN servers.  I haven't investigated
it much, but I'm fairly sure that Cisco has IPSec built in to some of its
routers and clients should be able to connect to the routers directly for
VPN purposes.  As for other software, PGP.Com has client and server software
called PGPNet that does IPSec-based VPN stuff.  The server, I beleive, is
only avaible for Unix platforms, but the client has Windows versions as
well.
