Perhaps such is the nature of VPN. My goal is simply to allow users running Windows to VPN in to my home server and gain access to the private LAN. Sure, i can get in via ssh, but i have several less technical users who need to access to shared resources and for them, ssh is not a realistic solution. I've heard that OpenVPN is a bit simpler to set up, but it too is a complicated matter. All of the examples i've seen/googled involve unix<->unix machines. I'm tracking 5.3-STABLE with pf controlling traffic. Can anyone point me in a good direction? Thanks in advance, darren david
