I have a customer that wants to set up a secure connection between 2 locations in Kansas. The driving factor for this is that they have decided that they MUST have a WAN between their 6 offices (soon to be 5), and the connection to this one little location costs more than the other 4 combined. Anyway, what I am wanting to do is give them a VPN, with a low-grade of encryption. (Nothing fancy, the tunneling will slow down the curious, and nothing stops the determined ;). I was wondering if anyone has a way to do this in FreeBSD so I don't have to recommend using NT. I pictured something like the ipdivert/natd combination, except that the daemon I divert to would set up a connection to the far end and pass ALL messages along to him. Any suggestions? brian
