Best VPN for Centos 7

cajunchief · 01-09-2019, 08:45 PM

TBone,

My thoughts are to have her laptop VPN from its own VLAN bowl, and the rest of my network operating in it's own vlan bowl, thus reducing or eliminating any attacks she/her job may have accross the VPN(probably very remote) but just looking to prevent attacks? Or am I going way overboard
I'm definitely not H/C taking MAX CLEARED DATA DOWN TO MY HOME FRIGGING NETWORK!

No idea what you mean by "not H/C taking max cleared data down to my home frigging network", sorry.

AGAIN: a VPN is POINT TO POINT. The ONLY system the remote network knows about is the one connected to it, period. Want a VLAN, then go right ahead, enjoy. Again, there is no point, you won't gain anything (security, speed, etc.), but if you want one, go have one. Up to you...nothing else anyone can really tell you.

That still is not going to protect you. VLANs stop at the router and the router routes the traffic between VLANs. To get what you want you are going to have to totally isolate the networks from one another not allowing one to talk to the other. As TBone stated a lot of work for little to no payoff.

LazyDog,

Thanks for saying what you said! I hadn't thought too much about it, having lots going on. But when I did, your statments made sense,

I don't need to worry about her traffic on the VPN! My question now is, on my side(linux) would a vpn benefit me? I want a work area and sysadmin area, printing area...?

Again; yes, you can but why?? If this is all on ONE NETWORK, there is absolutely no point. Even having separate VLAN's on a home network is pointless for the small number of devices. No idea what you mean by a 'sysadmin' area, or a 'printing' area, but a VPN is made to connect computers to each other. If you want a printer on a VPN, you need to have it connected to a computer, since (to my knowledge), there are no printers that are VPN enabled.

You are not going to gain any speed, bandwidth, security, or privacy. The VPN traffic is already segmented off your home LAN, and nothing on your home LAN is going to traverse the tunnel.
