[pptp-server] linux to linux pptp connection

[Jordan Share]

I'd have to agree that FreeS/WAN is probably what you want to go with.  I've not had a tunnel go down yet.  (Well, as long as our DSL stays up.)  Also, you have the bonus that it interoperates with other IPSec implementations (an advantage you don't have with vtund).  I set up FreeS/WAN for connectivity to our backside LAN at the colo center (connecting to a Netscreen100 firewall), and since then have been easily able to add in tunnels for my network at home (FreeS/WAN) and to a coworker's Win2k box.

Plus, I really feel that the experience you gain in setting up a FreeS/WAN tunnel is far more broadly applicable to other IPSec installations than setting up some proprietary tunneling product (such as vtund).

There's no way I'd ever use PPTP to tunnel two LANs together, if I had a choice.  PPTP is for remote access, IMHO.

Tom:

Just figured out vtund, I'm testing it now.
Have you played with it? Seems stable.
