[CentOS] Re: Choosing VPN Server

Hi,

I am facing a task of choosing vpn server. I do not know which is better. The one distributed with CentOS4.5 only supports pppd (or maybe pptp but I cannot find it). If/ /I want to use PPTP or L2TP, which one should I choose? OpenVPN? Poptop?

Thanks.

If you want PPTP because of Windows clients, you need some kernel patches and some firewall patches. You can use a CentOS spinoff like ClarkConnect for this as it already has the patches, and a decent web config to set things up. If you want something more secure, use OpenVPN, but you will have to set each client up manually.
