SV: The point of VPN? and SW's role?

The forum has some very nice faq's and howtos.

IMO the easiest is to have a vpn that connects 2 networks. I think you have to
patch the kernel to support nat-traversel so that a vpn connection can be made
behind the smoothwall.

Iam running a vpn between my sw and a cisco pix vpn concentrator. So it is not
limited between sw, actually the sw was more flexible than the cisco in a way.
At least if you install the vpnpack from the forum.

I would say a good place to start would be

So, what all can you do with the VPN that is provided by default for
Smoothwall.  ONLY link together with other Smoothwall boxes?  If so, what is
the point of that?

Here is my setup.

I am on DSL.  The router box is connected to the internet and to the red
interface on my Smoothwall.  The green interface is connected to a switch
which has an XP Pro box among others.

Is the following possible with the default smoothwall or what role would
smoothwall play in this scenario?
I would like to set up a VPN connection between some computer on the internet,
say my work machine, and my XP Pro box.  What needs done?



Thanks,



-Jason
