Title: A question about VPN
Post by: Lazo on May 03, 2002, 08:35:37 PM

I fellows, I have 3 e-smith servers/gateway on three different locations. On e-smith1 I have the vpn enabled, and it works great (when I'm on a dialup account),

This is what I want to do:

I have vpn enabled on e-smith1, I have two PC behind e-smith2 and e-smith3 (a total of four), and my question is: can I vpn from my PC (all four) to the e-smith1??

so I can make like a special freeswan connection (I can not use freeswan because I don't have an estatic IP on the other locations, it't too expensive)

and if I can VPN to the e-smith1 (from e-smit2 and e-smith3) can I use netmeeting (with video and audio) over the vpn?? I think so, but I can verify it now, because the other location are a little bit away (just about 700 miles away)

If you can clarify this, i'll really appreciated!!

Thanks!

I dont believe you can vpn from behind your firewall to another pc. Why should you need to!

It would be ok for esmith1 to vpn to esmith2

then pcs behind esmith1 can do whatever they want to pcs behind esmith2.
The point behind having a firewall is to minimize the security risks.

Well, i was trying this because I don't have static IP, and freeswan needs static IP, so that is the reason... :(
