Use MPD (its in the ports) for PPTP support, which is built into w2k. On the user side, its "friendly" to set up because it presents the user w/ a modem-type setup where you "dial" a vpn box. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of David Kelly > Sent: Friday, May 30, 2003 9:03 AM > To: FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.org > Subject: VPN from one Win2k host to a FreeBSD network? > > > This has been covered many times before, I'm sure, just I > just can't find it now I have need. > > A consultant with one Win2k system behind a home-office NAT > firewall needs to speak Microsoft protocols to an NT4 server > inside my FreeBSD NAT firewall.
