 Posted: Fri Nov 30, 2007 3:12 pm Post subject: Question about VPN |
 |
|
I'm looking for a VPN solution. And since i like gentoo so much i always look for linux alternatives first 
What i want is to have different VPN client (windows) groups to connect to different interfaces(vlans) on the vpnserver.
ex:
Group1 VPN -> WAN -> NAT -> eth1 VPN SERVER -> eth0_0001 -> other network stuff.
Group2 VPN -> WAN -> NAT - >eth1 VPN SERVER -> eth0_0002 -> other nettwork stuff.
and so on.
Or as a second solution if the above is not possible:
Group1 VPN -> WAN - NAT -> eth1 VPN Server -> ETH0, but access only to specified IPs.
And the same for group2, only group1 can't see group2 and vica versa.
Is it possible on the client to only use the VPN connection for the given subnet, and use other random internet stuff as usual through the local WAN? |

OpenVPN (net-misc/openvpn) is a good (and relatively easy to use) VPN server/client for *nix, Mac, Windows. I don’t know if it can do the stuff you want but couldn’t you do this stuff with a firewall? OpenVPN can force specific clients to use specific IP addresses which you can write rules for. You could also run two OpenVPN processes on different ports.

This is of course possible. OpenVPN just adds another (tun/tap) network interface which you can use like any other one. Just set up routing with the standard tools.

I have started using janusvm for my vpn solution. It also has an option to enable Tor for added security/anonymity. Janusvm is a simple vmware image that you can load on your current system to enable vpn. Now I know this takes all the fun out of configuring a vpn for yourself but when you get old and busy like me this is the perfect solution.
