RE: More VPN info

["Larry Brown" <larry brown dimensionnetworks com>]

I just wanted to chime in on this.  FreeS/WAN is an IPSEC implementation
that I've used a number of times and they stay up as long as the internet is
up on both ends.  From what I've read it is very strong encryption and you
can feel pretty safe that everything is encrypted well.  I have sniffed
around the firewalls looking for anything useable and haven't ever found
anything.  It does require a kernel recompile though and it does take some
effort for the install.  I don't know if these others like cipe are as
strong or not.  ( I just don't know enough about them )  I do know that
IPSEC is supposed to be one of the best.  If you want to read about them
they are at freeswan.org.

I appreciate all the prompt replies with lots of great info.  Here's a
little more information about what we're trying to do.  We want to use it
to link a remote branch office with our main office, there's a network on
both ends so we need it to be up all the time.  There won't be any users of
any kind, just a box at either end linking the 2 networks.  I've used W2K's
VPN for letting users get in, but there won't be any users on this link.

It sounds like Cipe might do a good job, but I'm open to
suggestions.  Thanks again for all the great replies!
