Enable VPN On Smoothwall?

[Carlosinfl]

So I would really like to access my home LAN from the office and would like to enable VPN on my smoothwall. I connected to the web interface on smoothwall and the vpn server seems to be running however I am confused by lack of options like username and password and all that jazz. It just seems like I am missing something...





What do I need to do to be able to connect from work? I made the pass through on my Firewall at work to be able to connect to my home network...

the built in vpn for smoothwall really only works with smoothwall

you need to install openvpn if you want to do anything besides smoothie-smoothie vpn

Agreed, the Smoothie implementation of IPSEC seems to be VERY picky.

Carlos, if you're interested in VPN, you might want to do some research into the different types of VPN offerings before you open doors in either your home or work network.
