Re: Two IPSec/Windows Questions

I had looked at the other offerings and it was a tip from a friend who put
me on to Snapgear. I never have to do anything to it, it just runs, which
suits me well. I bridged the ADSL router/modem and let the snapgear do the
ADSL login. It also supports dynamic IP (i used dyndns.org but it handles
plenty of others) and can be an NNTP server. You can get into the linux
config and have fun at that level if you want but I've not needed to.
Pick the number of simultaneous VPN tunnels you need to choose a model.
