Not sure if it helps your particular situation, but you might want to take a look at OpenVPN (/usr/ports/security/openvpn). It's an application layer VPN implementation (SSL) as opposed to IPSec, but seems to work well for dynamic IP addresses and endpoints behind NAT devices. Quite stable, as well. -- Art Mason Technical Support - Team F Rackspace Managed Hosting (800) 961-4454 ext. 1223 amason@rackspace.com On Fri, 2004-02-13 at 13:19, Baldur Gislason wrote: > I have a home network with FreeBSD machines and a laptop running FreeBSD. > The laptop connects to various networks but I'd like to access my home > machines from the laptop, the home machines are behind a freebsd nat > firewall. > I've been using mpd for quite a while, doing a PPTP link from my laptop to > home but it doesn't offer any useful encryption, and the encryption it claims > to offer doesn't seem to work. > Hence, limiting what I can do over the link without fear of being sniffed. > I'd like being able to dial in from anywhere, yet have an encrypted link.
