linux VPN


Hi guys
Is there any good new documentations about VPN in linux ?
I don't want to read for ever
+ almost docs i've found are talking about kernel 2.0 & 2.2
_______________________________________________________

- How to set up a VPN connection between 2 linux machines and linux windows as well.

actually the map is (linux as a firewall windows clients behind) planning to connect to another (linux server win-clients behind)somewhere and a windows 2000server somewhere else
_______________________________________________________

Thanks
======
Please don't send me a HOW-TO link I've it already but I don't have time to read it

part of OpenVPN's Official documentation there is a quickstart guide...

http://openvpn.net/static.html

what's wrong with reading that? Personally no, i've not been in a position whereby i feel entitled to expect volunteers to write dedicated concise documentation for me personally when perfectly adequate resources already exist.

5901
Then you connect by typing http://machineip:5801

huh? enabling VNC does not have anything to do with a secure VPN in any way at all... and anyone opening up a VNC server to the internet deserves being hacked into by it.
