As I understand it, WEP is bad becuase the key size is far too small. This means an attacker would only have to make a slight amount of effort to break the encryption through brute force. > so you build vpn between you and ?! access point or gateway route !? > how does this work ... i thought vpn is point to point so you have > to build a tunnel to the other point you want to connect !? The only kind of VPN I'm really familiar with is IPSec, which I use at work to access my home network remotely. IPSec can operate in a point-to-point fashion as well as point-to-network and network-to-network. If you're curious, the FreeS/WAN docs have a lot of information: <URL:http://www.freeswan.org/doc.html> I think that IPSec should work nicely for securing communications over a wireless network.
