Message-ID: <20010125105555.A37905@converging.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0i Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I am looking for resources on how to properly set up a virtual tunnel between two FreeBSD 4.2 firewalls. My intention is to establish a secure connection between two offices both of which have DSL. I have configured each FreeBSD 4.2 box as firewalls because they are protecting W2K networks. I can easily set up sshd on each firewall and use a product like Terra Term Secure Shell on a w2k box to remotely log onto each firewall in order to manage the firewalls from the other site. However, I would like to go one step further. From a w2k box at site A, connect to a w2k box at site B and manage the box or transfer files. Something like VNC does a good job from w2k to w2k. However, I would have to somehow configure a port or a nic on the firewall to point to the interior box. Some sort of relay or routing mechanism. As you see my understanding is basic. I just need to find some good websites or resources and do a bit of reading and experimenting. -- Murray Davis Converging Technology Solutions Edmonton, AB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
