Hello:
I'm looking for a VPN system to run on linux that
will allow me to connect my company with our sister company in Scotland. I
run Debian Woody so I've looked at the tunnels available in the package tree
including Cipe, FreeSwan, and Vtun. I've also looked at PoPToP from www.moretonbay.com and am leaning
toward this because according to their documentation there are windows clients
readily available.
Both LANs are behind firewalls so I think that an
SSH tunnel will be the best thing but I lack the experience to be
sure.
The system will have to transparently pass smb and
nmb traffic as well as http traffic. Ideally it will also allow NT domain
logins and handle name resolution using nmb transparently. I know this is
a tall order but if anyone has any experience implementing a system like this I
could use a push in the right direction. Right now the variety of possible
solutions combined with the lack of a clear list of capabilities is a bit
overwhelming.
Thanks:
Rob Squire
