RE: [Users] Freeswan on Linux as a replacement for SecureRemote.

Afternoon,

GWHOME is my linux box, which has a Adsl connection running a dynamic
IP. This has is my 'perimiter' firewall at home, which runs freeswan. It
has a static ip on the ethernet card to which all traffic gets
translated to/from. I have a second firewall at home which seperates
home users (in this case, me&wife ;) from the internet, so the
possibility of accessing internal servers is reduced.

WFUK is the Checkpoint Firewall 1/VPN which I want to connect to and
acccess the encryption domain, in this case the 192.168.0.0 network.

The problem I have is that I can't keep modifiying the policy on WFUK to
allow dynamic IP's from users who could potentially just use
secureremote. I have tested using a static rule and with the current IP
of GWHOME, but this IP will change, and editing the policy on WFUK is an
administration night mare. What I need is that ipsec0 on the gateway box
creates a vpn to WFUK, allowing WFUK to access the 192.168.0.0 network.

There will be only one ipsec connection ber site, which will then be
natted to the internal network.

Re,

Al.
