Good stuff

This is a really good client, but I'll canonize anyone who can help me get any cocktail VPN clients/protocols to get my Debian box at home connected to the Sonicwall VPN at the office.

I'm having the same problem. I need a vpn client to connect to my sonicwall at work. Has anyone solved this ?

Can somebody recommend a good vpn server package to complement this?

This mostly for if you have a Cisco VPN hardware unit that you need to interact with.

Otherwise, look into OpenVPN or IPSec (KAME or Openswan). You can make simple secure connections using SSH, as well

Cool, will do. We've got a cisco vpn 3000 job at work and I've been using the cisco module to connect in, but I should really look into securing my wlan (just discovered my AP is shafted a bit though :-\)

The most popular way of configuring IPsec connections under Linux is by using the Openswan ( httpwww.

OpenSwan and CISCO VPN 3080

Does anyone know (or has heard) of any incompatibility problems regarding IPsec tunnel between OpenSwan (I use Suse9.3 Linux) and VPN3080? Cisco does not support OpenSwan so I would like to know if I am going to have problems. Further info: My Linux box uses ipsec.conf with parameter "left" assigned a single IP address (not a networg subnet). In other words I am trying something like a road-worrior connection to the 3080 which is configured in "remote-access" mode. I also provide my static IP address refusing to accept the one offered by 3080. Seems to work OK but I need to eliminate my worries for future failures.
