Hey, My boss drafted me to set up a VPN for our server at work so he can get to our files off site. Any one got some good links I could read up on it. I found a few, one from microsoft, but wanted to read up on the subject in general to get a better feel for it. thanks

Microsoft's "solutions" are just more problems and about as secure as a cardboard box. Go check out Checkpoint Firewall-1 and look at Securemote. It's a little pricey, but you may (should) already have firewall-1 running if you're at all serious about security. It is the absolute cadillac of firewalls.

Well I disagree that if you don't run checkpoint your not serious about security....

There are a lot of very good solutions to security... Cisco Pix comes to mind as a great enterprise level one. There are actually a lot of options depending on budgets, needs, etc...

PIX is ok, it's just not as easy to administer. It's a flagship product for Cisco and that means it'll cost just because it says Cisco.

I dunno... I have no problems administering Pix's.

I like Pix's better... but I have much more limited exposure to Checkpoint too.

Yea, at the last job we used those on our big client. They had employees that worked from home, and we changed them over from dedicated SDSL & ISDN to any ISP and VPN using Nortels. We did have some pretty strange issues though.

well at the moment i just need it to so we can log on from a remote location and my boss can upload his updates to our database, which is in access so it would pretty much just be uploading a newer database file. the idea is just to use whats described on mirco$ofts site to do it. I know windows has a setup for it. but is it that easy? Never had a setup for windows work the way MS whitepapers say they will Razz
