Hello Örjan,
There are no ''conflicts'' between FreeS/Wan and PPTP; the only
conflict that
I''ve found is between FreeS/Wan and the Shorewall implementation of
Proxy
ARP (there is a workaround mentioned in the documentation).
Both IPSEC and PPTP can be configured to connect a host to a network or to
connect two networks; for the latter application, I prefer IPSEC.
I can''t address the performance issue since my experience with these
tunneling facilities has been in low-volume applications.

Subject: [Shorewall-users] pptp and freeswan
Hi all!
I''m in the process of setting up shorewall with pptpd and possibly
freeswan.
The idea is to set up tunnels between a main office and three small branch
offices, and also provide access to the main office for road warriors. This
is similar to Tom''s old config as far as I can see. While I''m
digging
through all the documentation I thought I''d throw this out there to get
som
input from folks who have worked with similar set ups.
Any conflicts between freeswan and pptpd?
Is it possible to use freeswan and/or pptpd to connect one box to several
others, or is it strictly ''one-to-one''?
What are the performance implications with a couple of offices connected and
a few road warriors at the same time? I''m working with a P3 600Mhz,
128Mb
RAM.
Any input regarding these kinds of set ups with shorewall is extremely
appreciated. And Tom: the documentation is great, but the fact that you put
your own configs out there is just fantastic! Seeing real life examples puts
the technical docs in a new perspective, so forgive me if I ask questions
here that will be obvious when I''ve dug through it all. I''m a
bit pressed
for time, and trying to get a jump start from you guys! :-)
TIA,
Orjan
