New free VPN software!
Just found this: http://www.iopus.com/ipig/
It's a free client, just like "Google Secure Client" (which no longer works). There's also a free 5 user VPN server :D -kwag |

Also, with encription and de-encription is this going to drastically reduce my DSL connection speed :?: Thanks -BP |
Hi BP,
Yes, the speed is slower, but your security is #1 ;) -kwag |

@Kwag,
I've used "ipig" for a few days and although it's sometimes slow, it seems to protect my wireless access pretty well 8) I'd like to find a tool like "AirSnare" to tell me how well it blocks wireless intruders. Can you recommend any Windows programs :?: I found a small program called WepKey v1.4 that creates 40bit and 104bit ascii or hex keys. I now change the WEP every week. I also hid my SSID. Will this be enough to protect me from a wireless attack :?: Is there something else I could try. :) BTW, I was interested in creating a VPN server from an old PC I have laying my house. I want to use Windows 2000 and install "ipig's" client v 1.02 and use this as my VPN and tunnel via internet. I D/L their software which allows up to 5 free clients, but for me this is just an test for my own knowledge. Can this be done or is Linux the only way :?: Thanks -BP |
Hi BP :D,
Errrm, how shall I put this? Linux is most surely not the only way to go. Even because BSD is au pair with Linux. Plus, the nicest VPN projects are using BSD and *not* Linux. Remember me mentioning m0n0wall and pfSense? M0n0wall is a state-of-the-art router/firewall/vpnserver/Host AccessPoint/etc... booting and running off a 16MByte CF Card ;-). I'll tell you, this baby rocks! And you can configure it via HTTP or HTTPS(secured) sessions with it's wonderfull GUI :). pfSense is still in Alpha stage but it will reach Beta and RC in a few weeks. pfSense promisses to be the next step to m0n0wall users even because installation has been much improoved when compared with m0n0wall. Now try to do all this with M$ Windows... :? Of course W2K and the ipig server might do the job but just remember that M$ is about to move W2K to the legacy products thus stoping the maintenance updates (or at least not distributing them as regularly as with W2K3). So I think you should consider W2K3 if you test it with W2K and you like it. Oh, did I mention that m0n0wall and pfSense can be installed on a generic desktop PC with no need for a Soekris/WRAP SBC? You could try it on that same PC that you'll use for ipig ;-). Cheers BP :D |

I'm now setting up a VPN in my house for all wireless clients (kids, wife). On my firewall, I'll block every IP destination that comes from the AP, so only the VPN tunnel will work ;) This way, only VPNs can access the Internet, and even if someone cracks my AP key, they will never be able to connect :jejeje: Quote:

email attachments and such, but the protection would be quite strong from wireless attacks :wink: With my own local VPN client server, response time should be faster. Thanks again guys :) -BP |
