My home client could be Windows 2000 or Linux. I would
want to connect to my work LAN through the internet.
My Firewall is FreeBSD 4.5. I need:
1. a tutorial for setting up VPN on my FreeBSD fireall.
2. Recommendation for VPN client to run on my home
machine (windows 2000 or Linux. My machine is dual boot).
3. a tutorial for setting up VPN client on my home machine.
thanks,
Darryl
