I have recently been asked to implement VPN access for some of our roaming employees. Our gateway is a FreeBSD 4.7 box that I administer. Our employees are all on cablemodem connections when they are out and about. I have discovered IPSec and racoon, of course, and dug through their documentation. I have also read several very good tutorials on the web. The trouble I am having is that all the information I can find is for setting up a VPN tunnel between two gateways. What I need is a VPN connection between a roaming host (with a dynamic IP) and our VPN gateway (static IP) which will allow access to the internal network behind that gateway (private IP addresses). I have successfully established the VPN connection between a roaming host and the gateway, but without access to the internal network. I can't seem to figure out how to tell setkey to configure a tunnel into the network without knowing ahead of time what the client's IP will be. Can anybody give me some pointers? Thanks, Paul D.
