Does anyone have any experience with either open source or commercial firewalling products that can be configured to work in a small office network and allow VPN connections to larger networks. I do not have a very big budget but would
define "VPN connections". do you mean IPSec, or some third-party (ie: proprietary) VPN connection? If you want IPSec, you can look at FreeS/WAN which interoperates with several different vendor's IPSec implementations. (http://www.xs4all.nl/~freeswan/) As was mentioned, PPP over SSH works (klugy, but I've done it and it works fairly decently) as well. ipchains/iptables will take care of your firewalling needs. VPN is a completely different puppy though. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "So Lone Star ... Now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb." - Space Balls
