Hi All!

I have Internet access through Virtual Private Network (VPN).
Can I setup this connection under Linux? Under Win2k it is quite easy. But I
have never configured networking under Linux.

Is it possible at all? What components should I install and what general
steps should I do?

Thanks ahead,
Nic Tiger.

P.S. I have Mandrake Linux 9.0.

hi

i have Mandrake Linux 9.0 too ..
well i'm afraid i don't really know what VPN is ..
i guess it is samba + masquerading + firewall [+ proxy][+ dial on 
demand] isn't it ?
in this case i have some ideas, even if i'm quite newbies.
but before going further i have to go home and do a man vpn ..

arg: can't help.
didn't found "vpn" keyword even on the Mdk 9.0 Power Pack Edition packages

on the internet i found

http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1105-964057.html

and

http://www.impsec.org/linux/masquerade/ip_masq_vpn.html

but i think you could have found them without me.

well vpn is connecting pc's on the internet as if it was a local 
network. so it supose masquerading and crypting.
i think you must have more info:
- what do you want to do: really vpn or connect to the internet with a vpn ?
- how Win2K implement vpn and is there compatible linux client (must be) ?
- what is your connection: ADSL, cable ?

good luck

I'm connected via Ethernet 10/100 Mbit to city network and there I have a
connection to Internet (I have IP address of authorization server, login and
password). What type of connection it is?
In Win98/Win2k I connect to Internet specifying 'connect through Virtual
Private Network' which is city network.

Hope this information is enough.

I looked into it a couple of years ago because I thought I would need
to set one up for connecting to one of my clients but never followed
up on it because they decided not to use a VPN.

I believe you want to look for "point to point tunnelling protocol"
PPTP or something like that. From what I hear it's pretty easy to set
up.

The Jan 2002 issue of "Linux Journal" has a very nice and detailed article
on setting up a VPN gateway. (uses IPSec based VPN gateway with a firewall
using a single bootable Linux diskette distribution). See if you could get
the issue in your local library.

BTW, it begins like this:
"A virtual private network (VPN) is a tool that enables the secure
transmission of data over untrusted networks such as the Internet. VPNs
commonly are used to connect local area networks into wide area networks
using the Internet."
