 |
|
Hi,
One of our offices runs a "secure planet" VPN. It's a piece of software that runs on Windows.
There's (predictably) no Linux information on their website. Does anyone have any experience getting Gentoo and/or Openswan to play nice with it? By looking around on their website it looks like it's an IPSec-based thing, but that's everything I know.
Has anyone got any success or failure stories with it? I haven't given it a go just yet, so I'm just trying to collect info.
Simon

I have no experience with any of Secure Planet's products. From browsing their page, it seems that they aren't using plain-vanilla IPSec; while this does not automatically disqualify it from interoperating with any of the Linux IPSec packages, it may be a problem.
BTW, you do know that the 2.6 kernel has built-in IPSec, ja? It has to be supported by the ipsec-tools userland package, but FreeS/WAN and its derivatives are no longer the only way to get IPSec.

Yeah, that's what I'm worried about. It's why I asked... I didn't think it would be simple to setup. I'd never heard of them before I was asked to work out if it'll interoperate.

Yeah but I still have some 2.4 gateways around. Besides, I like the way 2.4 provides the ipsecx interfaces... It made writing firewalls easier. Can't think why they took it out.
