I have a Linux box running 2.4 (SuSe 7.3 Sparc) and I want to configure it to allow myself to tunnel in from the internet to it, so I would like to be say in another city and connect back to it over the Internet, create a VPN connection back. So this should give me access to the home network. So on the client side I have W2K or NT 4 or W98 On the Server side I have SuSe 2.4.17, PPP-2.4.1 (and pppoe?), freeswan 1.96 and poptop 1.0.1 ( I have the source for these, compiled and installed) I don't want to yet go down the IPSec route (started to), want to keep in simple to start with. So I want PPPoe + poptop on the server side and this should allow connection's over the internet and dial up connections as well (not worried about those yet). I am presuming the next step I could take then is to add IPSec to the tunnel that is created to make it more secure. And then the final step would be to connect to LAN together with this, with a Linux box with PPPoe+poptop+IPSec(freeswan) on one side and W2K + IPSec on the other side. has anyone tried this ? Has any one got any comments, is this the right path to take ? Any comments ? Thanxs Alex
