| SUBJECT | Subject: [NYLXS - HANGOUT] VPN Issue
|
Hi,
I've got a VPN issue here and was wondering if anyone has any experience
with it...
I have a client here in NY that has a handful of Mac and MS workstations
behind a Suse 10.0 server and a m0n0wall firewall running DHCP.
I am attempting to connect the workstations to a remote (London) PPTP
server running on WinServer2000. I have run into an obscure limitation
in m0n0wall, where their implementation of the required GRE protocol
only allows one PPTP client pass-through per IP. No multi client pass
through is possible, which kills what I must do.
I don't have the luxury of changing things to IPSec or anything
dramatic. My mission, which I chose to accept, is to connect to the
legacy in London.
I think one workaround would be to use the linux box as the one client
connecting to London, add a static route to the workstations to VPN
connect via the linux server, then have the linux box route the
workstations through its VPN tunnel.
Windows Server can do this with a what they call Routing And Remote
Access Services (RRAS), and I figure there must be a lin way. An easy
way might be to just buy a compatible FW.
Beyond my Googling, any real world insight would be appreciated.
Thanks,
R
