Linux Router/Firewall/NAT/VPN?

Hi. I'm looking to building a combined router/firewall/vpn solution based on Linux 2.4.x, iptables and FreeS/WAN. Clients are on Windows 2000 Professional machines. I want the following setup: Client | Internet | R/F/V |+--- DMZ (Public IPs) +---- LAN (Private IPs) The router/firewall/VPN does NAT translation for the office LAN. Clients should be tunneled into the office lan segment. If they attempt to reach DMZ adresses, that should be handled as if they were connected locally on the office LAN. The routing and NAT:ing I got pretty much covered; it's the IPSEC VPN solution I'm unsure about. Is the above setup secure? (or rather, are there any obvious messups?) Clients have dial-up connection to local providers. I got the 2.4.10 kernel with FreeS/WAN compiled in on the FW; do I need any special software (on the client or on the FW) to establish a VPN connection from the client? Do I need a separate subnet for the VPN clients? // J _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () nfr com http://list.nfr.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
