I've just been going through this stuff for the past week. None of the things come with adequate documentation so you need to rely heavily on mailing list support. Thankfully a few people have been giving me some assistance but looks like at least few days more messing around will be involved before its working.. There is a basic HOWTO on one application at freebsddiary, but its quite dated now. The only other apps I've been able to find are vtund & poptop (both from ports) Judging from feedback I received to a similar question, the few FreeBSD users who use VPN prefer vtund. I did look at poptop (which reportedly has some security "features") in the hope it might be more straightforward to configure. You need to hack the makefile (its flagged "forbidden") to install, then theres a few compatibility issues to contend with (due to the linux heritage) .... I gave up with it at that stage. I think there may be other applications available if you can compile support into the kernel .... thats not practical for my present situation as I can't take the server end offline in the immediate future. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jesús Arnáiz" <arnaiz@encomix.es> To: <questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Cc: <hackers@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2001 12:56 PM Subject: RV: VPN > > > -----Mensaje original----- > De: Jesús Arnáiz [mailto:arnaiz@encomix.es] > Enviado el: jueves, 26 de abril de 2001 4:36 > Para: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org > Asunto: VPN > > > Hi! > > I want to set VPN on my system, I see there is many programs created to do it. > > Any advantages or disadvantages of using one or other?.
