Hi Guys, I'm looking for a VPN solution that will run on CentOS. I've used PopTop with success but some clients have problems at hotels and other firewalled locations. If anyone can suggest something that works well with MS 2000/XP, doesn't require too much tweaking on the client side and is fairly resiliant to various firewall blocking, I'd be interested in hearing about it. Shawn

Runs fine on Windblos - sorry - and linux/bsd too. It has HTTP proxy support built in. bye, Ago

You would have to create a simple installer to copy the key and a config file to the right locations on the client, but the user can rightclick on the desktop icon and select "start" (or something like that) to open the connection. It is what I use whether the client side is Linux or Windows. poptop, and pptp in general, are distasteful to me.

Thx.

Set it up to run using TCP on port 443; pretty much everyone has that open as it is the standard https port. robert
