[luau] School needs a Network PPTP server

[Mike Ballon]

Not to promote anything but Linux but for the price and administration the
Linksys VPN Appliances can't be beat.  I've tested these myself and have
moved one customer to them already.  The 70 tunnel 'server' runs around $150
while the 2 tunnel end point is at $100, for the price I would suggest
always getting the 70 tunnel box myself.

These are end-to-end devices that are completely unaffected by the OS that
runs behind it and comes complete with the four port switch and the Linksys
Firewall feature set.

The VPN itself is IPSec 3DES.

Flame on :)

Aloha all,
  I just got off the phone with DOE.  They would like to see what can be
done with setting up a server to server vpn running 24x7 to the school
using OpenSource PPTP VPN.  I am researching on setting up a VPN Server
on Voyager School's side that will have a 24x7 PPTP VPN to DOE.  Any
Help on this would be fantastic.  Voyager, being a Public Charter, does
not have a very big budget.  I think, if we can prove to the school that
linux is the way to go, I think we could cut the whole school over to
linux.  I need to prove this not only to the teachers and Principal, but
also to key people in DOE.

Thanks,
Brian

Aloha all,
   I have been working with DOE and Voyager- A Public Charter School.
DOE is requiring the school to setup a client to Server VPN with the DOE
network.  They currently have a DSL link into the school.  They would be
using the DSL for the VPN (PPTP)connection. I was wondering if there is
a VPN Server for outgoing traffic from the internal network that can
route between the VPN side of the network and the internet.  I do have a
specific IP which is where the PPTP must connect to.  Any help would be
great.

Thanks,
Brian
