VPN using what software? openvpn?

[Comment 2 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) 2004-03-09 04:43:30 UTC]

Any word on this?

[Comment 3 Tiemo Kieft (RETIRED) 2004-03-10 04:56:49 UTC]

I currently have nowhere near enough time to start with the guide. I made a beginning but lost it in a hd crash (tnx again WD).

[Comment 4 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) 2004-03-12 04:27:45 UTC]

Marking this one as later...

Created attachment 29260 [details]
First draft

This is just a draft, put it here just to let you know i'm on it.

You need to add the route commands on both sides, so the routers know to send trafic for the other subnet through the tunnel.

Reopening...

Blubber's out. Perhaps someone else can take on this bug?

I talked to Marc, he wrote a little OpenVPN HowTo for the GWN and will have a look at this bug.

[Comment 10 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) 2004-12-22 12:34:52 UTC]

Any news on Marc? Otherwise I'll mark this one as LATER.

[Comment 11 Marc Hildebrand (RETIRED) 2004-12-23 12:52:03 UTC]

Hi!
Still had not enought time to work on it yet.
Hopefully I manage to write a bit over the holidays and in the first week of January.

[Comment 12 Eric Brown 2005-01-12 16:51:09 UTC]

Might I propose that we write on OpenVPN and something like StrongSWAN/OpenSWAN ?

It almost might be interesting to jam this into the security guide if I could manage to organize it all into a handbook..

[Comment 13 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) 2005-02-05 07:01:45 UTC]

I'm timing out this bug. If someone wants to start writing such a guide, be my guest, just comment and we'll reopen. But make sure you're starting it :p

[Comment 14 Eric Brown 2005-03-19 09:30:30 UTC]

I'm starting it, just give me a while to figure out how to use openvpn and *swan :)

[Comment 15 Bjarke Istrup Pedersen (RETIRED) 2005-03-19 09:33:48 UTC]

There are some nice guides at the gentoo wiki.
If you figure out how to make windows connect to openswan (L2TP), please tell.

I have set up PPTP, if you need any help with that part of the guide, then send me an email.

We would need 3 sections:

*Swan
PPTP
OpenVPN

[Comment 16 David H. Askew 2005-07-02 06:29:17 UTC]

Is someone still working on this?  I was considering writing a howto on
connecting to a vpn using vpnc, and related topics.
