Re: [Trinux-talk] ipsec

[Matthew F. <mf...@ci...>]

Wow, I think this is actually the first post on trinux-ipsec. :)

It has been over a year since I messed with Freeswan. I started on a
script that would manually bring up tunnels because I didn't much care for
how the FreeS/WAN folks did things with their startup script--among other
things.

I was actually more interested in trying to do a VPN via PPP over
SSH/Stunnel because it might be easier and it would avoid hacking the
kernel more, but if you are willing do test things and develop some
scripts to automate things I'll see if I can build some new modules and/or
dig up the old packages. The bottom line is if I gan get a few people who
are interested and willing to help out it should be possible, because I'm
short on time at the moment.
