Title: VPN-Gateway for Win-clients?
Post by: judy on August 04, 2002, 07:03:26 PM

Hi all,

is it possible to setup a SME-server as vpn-gateway?
after trying over two weeks getting FreeSWAN to work under
RedHat 7.3 i want to try an "easier" way for the moment.
what i need is a way that win2k/xp clients from the outside connect
via pptp to the sme-box and use it as gateway. the clients need access to the internal lan and to the outside via the sme-box.
i tried smoothwall and clarkconnect but they can´t act as vpn-gateway. the clients can only use the internal lan.

tia and best regards
judy

Hi Judy,

How about setting the SME-VP-Gateway as a proxy in your client?

Hi RequestedDeletion,

nice to hear from you :)

Problem is that the clients at home need acess to a terminal server in the campus-lan. so i need the function of routing cause the terminal server is in another subnet.

you should be able to add the second network to your sme box then just port forwd the requests on port 3389

Hi Judy,

I use WinXP clients to VPN into SME all the time. Should not be a problem.
