CentOS5 VPN solution advice

sir-lancealot · 01-29-2008, 02:04 PM

Afternoon all, just looking for a few seconds of feedback, as we have an existing network behind a juniper firewall and IDP device. I want to take my APC, load balancer web management ports off the public network behind a centos5 box, then simply VPN to run the mgmt.

I assume OpenSwan is the way to go, but didn't see any simply yum install or am I wrong? The 2.0.0 rpm show's dependencies, saw the yum help but that was for Fedora, and those options didn't work.

But before I start the path of dependency fixing, compiling, thought someone else running centOS5 has already installed a diff way, or recommends another open source VPN.

Tnx
