Combo looks good. VPN alternatives are ok. OpenVPN is not IPSec. However, I prefer OpenVPN as it is more NAT friendly than IPSec. If you are looking for site-site VPN, this may not matter. If you need to use IPSec, build it with NAT Traversal. Some ISPs give private network IPs and NAT it at their end. -- Mohan Sundaram _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
