I need to set up a vpn connection between, lets say company A and
company B. I work for company A, and company B has told us that that we
can use whatever software we want as long as it is IPSec compliant. I
was having a look around and came across http://www.openswan.org. So
does openswan do the client end as well, or does it only do the server
part? Or is it just both? I was thinking about using it to set up the
the connection from company A to company B, but wanted to know for sure
if this is doable before going through the trouble. On the openswan site
it says it's "an implementation of IPsec for Linux" so I'm guessing it
would do exactly what I need, but I'm a total noob when it comes to any
kind of VPN stuff.
I have no idea if this would connect to another Linux box or Windows
box, wasn't given all the details yet, but would like to find a solid
solution and start figuring out how to get it all set up. I want it so
that when I have all the connection specifics I can set it up in the
shortest amount of time possible. Am I steering myself in the right
direction here? Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated, thanks!
On a side note, I tried out openvpn and successfully made a connection
between two test machines before reading that it isn't IPSec
compliant...doh! lol
