Hello,
Do you use mpd through a firewall? If so, how do you deal with the gre
protocol? I've not been able to get that going through a firewall. Can i
see your server/client configs? I'm wanting to compare your working
windows one to my nonworking setup.
Thanks.
Dave.

I need to set up a VPN so a remote windows client can access some
Samba shares. All of the documentation I've found are for FreeBSD to
FreeBSD tunnels, not for a client connecting directly. Pointers to
documentation?

In your situation I tried openvpn and found it very comfortable to set
up and maintain. There is a freebsd port and packages for some systems
are avaiable. (that includes MS Windows)

MPD - also in the ports collection, does PPTP and IPSEC tunnels, you
do not need anything for windows 2000 upwards to connect, though you
will need an add-on to win98 dial-up-networking to do ipsec. Fairly
straight-forward install, runs clean, and documentation available.

Actually, I have not got an install of mpd running right now - used to run it
from my office, but that office has since closed and I am employed elsewhere
now. When I did have it running, I had a dual-homed machine which had an outside
(static valid internet IP) and an inside interface to the LAN. The building at
the time actually had 5 different networks, so routing and firewalling were a
little more complex than most - but if I recall, each login via mpd get's it's
own aliased interface on the FreeBSD machine, so just create your firewall rules
appropriately. - Not sure how/if you can run mpd through NAT if that's what you
were asking.
