Interested in Setting up a VPN

jmc1987 · 10-30-2009, 10:33 PM

Hello

I am interested in learning about how to setup a VPN.

So my question is does any body know of any paid or open source software and/or tutorials for setting up a VPM on Linux.

And just before you say it I am googling some solutions I am just keeping a wide variety of options =)

Thanks bunches

I do have 1 question about it. Windows and Linux systems should be able to connect to it correct?

can't see why not. As long as you have a server and a client it should work. I did real vnc to a linux box from a windows box. If you want a more robust network use samba also. That one is a tricky to use at first.

Samba is for local network use.

LOL Funny Sig I wonder how many systems you wrecked =)

none yet. Just wanted to see who would try it.

what would be more funny is if someone aliased it to the space bar.

Funny stuff

Anyways lets get back on topic.

Any other VPN Software anybody would recommend?

I don't get the humor of your last post. Did you do something with the information you received om OpenVPN.

I see in your signature that you are running your own Linux forum. What is the use of it?

I got bored at home and did rm -rf / just for humor and got those results. I was bugging murankar about his sig.

Other than that I am looking for a Good VPN Server that Linux and Windows can connect to. I have got openVPN up and working but is there a client that can use Windows VPN Protocol PPTP as well?
