Hi, I'm just curious about setting up a new VPN here in the office part of our enterprise, as well as a second in our 75+ node data center co-location facility. Needing to stomp out the ****dows L2TP node here, just too many side-issues with config. I'd like it to run the same OS as all of our servers, e.g. Centos 4.3. Any recommedations on which software/server/client rpm's/targ.gz's to run? Any pointers at existing of wiki-able HOWTO's under Centos I can check out? As usual, if it's not been documented yet, i'd sincerely contribute what I can to the process of rendering a complete document for the future use of the community. -karlski

I'm also a fan of CentOS, but take a look at M0n0wall @ http://m0n0.ch . That's what I use for my VPN. At HQ, I use M0n0 on a CF card, with a decent Monarch 1U system, no hard drives. For the remote offices, I use Soekris NET4801 boxes. All embedded, no moving parts, very sweet to use. hth Mark

Active support list, (reasonably) easy setup and config. Cross-platform support. Once set up, it "just works". I've been using it for years without issues. Just go to OpenVPN and get the download. -Ben> > Needing to stomp out the ****dows L2TP node here, just too many > side-issues with config. > > I'd like it to run the same OS as all of our servers, e.g. Centos 4.3. > > Any recommedations on which software/server/client rpm's/targ.gz's to run? > > Any pointers at existing of wiki-able HOWTO's under Centos I can check out? > > As usual, if it's not been documented yet, i'd sincerely contribute what I > can to the process of rendering a complete document for the future use of > the community. > > -karlski > > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > -- > This message has been scanned for viruses and > dangerous content by MailScanner, and is > believed to be clean. >-- "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." - XEROX PARC slogan, circa 1978
