Samba and VPN

[Spesh]

Hey guys,

Got a samba server running on a freeBSD box in work for my boss to use to back stuff up to but he now wants to be able to access it from home which, i think, means VPN time. Had a quick squiz round the net and havent really turned up any decent howto's


Can someone offer me some advice to get me started and possibly some links/howto's?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi

i would personaly run the VPN on a seperate box this could be *BSD or a already done firewall:-

http://m0n0.ch/wall/ based on freebsd very small and secure

http://ipcop.org/ used a great deal by home and small business if you want support look at http://www.smoothwall.net/

http://www.astaro.com/ a great firewall bit harder to set up bet tied down very well is a great bit of software

http://www.redwall-firewall.com/ redhat / fedora based firewall

http://www.gibraltar.at/ another good product

Hopefull that will give you something to be started with

cheers
deano

do a google for openvpn.

most good routers will also act as vpn terminators, drayteks etc,.
