Hi there.... Has anyone seen a tutorial around for a pptp server (on the same server as the firewall) for centos/rhel 4? I have been following a few general tutorials for POPTOP, but nothing seems to really work as of yet. Thanks! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The question was for a PPTP "server". There are some patches for IPTables that need to be added for the 2.6 kernel to have both PPTP server and still allow internal clients to passthrough the firewall. You could try Clarkconnect. It is based on CentOS 4 and has a decent web based firewall management and both PPTP and Openswan IPSec servers. Plus you can do many other things with it. You have to register, but the free version has very few limitations. -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!

It was really quite simple once I figured out the basics. The hardest part was configuring everything so that the remote computer could communicate with the rest of the network. There is some good information on the OpenVPN website. http://openvpn.net/howto.html -- Bowie
