[KLUG Members] pptp vpn

[Rusty Yonkers]

Here is what I currently have setup


Internal NIC --------- Linux Box -------- Internet
192.168.1.1       VPN server 192.168.1.1    DHCP assigned
                  VPN client range
                  192.168.1.110-199
                  Proxy-ARP on eth0 (internal int)

This seems to work just fine.  I guess I need to try to set the VPN
server address to something other than .1 just to see if it needs to
be there but "if it is not broke don't fix it" seems to be coming
into play.

Isn't IPSec more secure than PPTP though?  Is OpenVPN like using
OpenSSH or something?  I am assuming there is an OpenVPN client for
Windows then, or does it just use the Windows VPN client?
