Subject:   pipsecd - thru port
Message-ID:  <3A002C78.7F3537D4@centtech.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I'm using ipsec (with pipsecd on two FreeBSD 4.1 machines) to build a
VPN.  I need to go thru a firewall, but I don't know which ports to
forward thru, or if this is even possible.. So here's what I want to do:

-----      -----      ------
| A | -----|FW |------| B  |
-----      -----      ------

machine A is a freebsd box inside the firewall (FW), B is the freebsd
box outside the firewall attempting to connect to A thru FW, in other
words, B thinks its connecting to FW port XX, but FW forwards port XX to
port XX on A, connecting the vpn thru the FW.. I currently have VPN's
set up with linux boxen with the SSH+PPP method, which works alright, it
would just work a LOT better with ipsec and such.. So, what ports do i
need to forward on FW to make this all work?

What does "it" mean in the sentence "What time is it?"?
