Hi guys, bit of an interesting one this as I cant quite get my head around best way to do this so wanted to see what others thought...
OK so the scenario - we have Building A and Building B, in Building A there is a local LAN, and currently in Building B there is nothing.
Building B needs access to Building A's LAN but Building B wont have its own internet connection as its only 50 metres away from Building A.
Now there is a outdoor grade Cat-5E running between buildings which can be used but just plugging the Building A side into the LAN and whacking a switch Building B side is not secure enough because anyone could theoretically tap into the Cat-5 and get full access to LAN.
Soooo, we want to use encryption just like a VPN does between the 2 buildings but not sure on best way to do this, I have set many a VPN up over 2 internet connections but not a on a LAN...
What way would you guys go about setting this up??
