similar to: Optimal VPN

Folks I would like to have my windows 7 laptop communicate with my home server via a VPN, in such a way that it appears to be "inside" my home network. It should not only let me appear to be at home for any external query, but also let me access my computers inside my home. I already have this working using M$'s PPTP using my home Centos 6 gateway/router as the PoPToP server.

IPSec is not recommended solution nowdays. OpenVPN runs top of single udp or tcp port, so it usually works on strictly firewalled places like in hotels and so on. -- Eero 2016-04-04 23:18 GMT+03:00 Gordon Messmer <gordon.messmer at gmail.com>: > On 04/04/2016 10:57 AM, david wrote: > >> I have seen discussions of OpenVPN, OpenSwan, LibreVPN, StrongSwan (and >> probably

Hi, I am facing a task of choosing vpn server. I do not know which is better. The one distributed with CentOS4.5 only supports pppd (or maybe pptp but I cannot find it). If* *I want to use PPTP or L2TP, which one should I choose? OpenVPN? Poptop? Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hello, now I have spent many hours to configure openswan for VPN connections without any success. My goal: VPN Server CentOS 6 with public IPv4 VPN Client (= road warrier) from private site with NAT router or from mobile cell with Linux, Windows 7, Mac, iPhone or Android Is there any how to in the net? When I read file:///usr/share/doc/openswan-doc-2.6.32/config.html then I belive, there is

And openvpn. Avoid ipsec as it's too complex and pptp is unsecure. Eero 4.4.2016 9.55 ip.

I looked in the yum repositories for CentOS 7 and I noticed that there are no packages for any of the major open source IPSec VPN apps - Openswan, strongSwan, etc. I'm pretty sure CentOS 6 had Openswan packages. What is the current consensus w.r.t. building an IPSec VPN "server" (concentrator, whatever) on CentOS 7, that will do site-to-site connections with Cisco hardware at

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... URL:

So far, OpenVPN has been working very well for me. Unfortunately, the iPhone doesn't have (yet?) an OpenVPN client, so I'm forced to work with what's available. The options are: L2TP, PPTP and IPSec. If you were to install a VPN endpoint on CentOS, which protocol would you prefer? The condition is to avoid shabby VPN servers that make the system less secure. I've seen some

Hello, I use Julian Anastasov ''routes'' (to be more specific: static_routes, alt_routes and nf_reroute) patches on a 2.4.32 kernel. On the same host I run IPSec. I have discovered after a few hours of networking problems that, when IPSec is enabled on that patched kernel, inspecting packets with tcpdump while arping-ing a host from a network physically connected to this

Hi All, This is a general VPN question; PPTP VPNs seem to be very easy to set up with CentOS as the VPN server and the built-in windose client, but how do list members feel about the security vunerabilities reported with the MS implementation? Specifically the 6 problems reported here : http://www.schneier.com/pptp-faq.html or maybe im being paranoid? Would any of you roll this solution out
