He raises a good point, Saurav. I know it's not exactly the answer you want to hear, but if your Netgear isn't currently capable of terminating a tunnel, they do make a SOHO router with IPSec tunneling capability. It's not the most sophisticated thing on the market, but for outbound only tunnels, it's fine--and <$200, I believe (Linksys makes one for about $125). The Netscreen on the distant end can NAT inbound src IPs to resolve any network issues and you wouldn't have to worry about desktop touches either. I'm sure Doug would much rather have you buy a Juniper/Netscreen 5GT to replace the Netgear (;-)), and they are nice to have, but the Netgear may well be all you need and you can forget about all the client VPN problems. Even when client VPN is working, it's still a bit of a pain to manage all the user accounts. --Travis Doug Dooley wrote: >I'm aware of 2 startups who have built exactly that but I think the >layer 3 full client software model has long seen its best days. > >Site-to-Site, IPSec is still the best. >Remote Access, the cost model and NAT/proxy issues seem to hard to >ignore. > > >-----Original Message----- >From: [email protected] >[mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of >saurav khanna >Sent: Monday, July 12, 2004 9:55 AM >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [VPN] Universal VPN client > >In my 2 years of experience in VPN I have not come across a single vpn >client which will support PPTP,L2TP and IPSec simultaneously. > >PPTP and L2TP can besupported by the microsoft windows client but it >will >not support IPSec. > >Saurav. > >>From: [email protected] >>Reply-To: [email protected] >>To: [email protected] >>Subject: VPN Digest, Vol 15, Issue 3 >>Date: Sat, 10 Jul 2004 12:00:25 -0600 (MDT) >> >>Send VPN mailing list submissions to >> [email protected] >> >>To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit >> http://lists.shmoo.com/mailman/listinfo/vpn >>or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to >> [email protected] >> >>You can reach the person managing the list at >> [email protected] >> >>When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific >>than "Re: Contents of VPN digest..." >> >> >>Today's Topics: >> >> 1.
