I have a machine at home that I connect to my ISP with a modem and have a dynamically assigned IP address. I would like to be able to build a VPN to the network at work. I would like to use my FreeBSD machine there as the other end of the tunnel. I am using FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE on both my home and work machines. I tried doing it with ssh and ppp but have not been successful. It seems that nos-tun and gif are possibilities as well as a couple of ports, such as poptop/pptpclient. In the archives I saw a couple of examples of people tunneling two private networks together but not via a modem. Has anyone set up a VPN using a dynamically assigned IP address? A first step would be to know what is the best program to use for achieving this. Any help appreciated and thanks in advance. -- Glenn Johnson glennpj@bayouhome.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
