Hi, As I use both SSH tunnel and OpenVPN, have seen an advantage until now to SSH, as all platforms have it, however, SINCE you have to before hand decide what you want to tunnel (port, IP, etc) it bares an in-convince. Unlike OpenVPN, which tunnels everything (a downside if you are upstream limited), but required VERY little configuration, and before-hand choosing what ports to tunnel etc...
So it basically comes down to what you want to Tunnel... If its SMTP/POP, SSH will be easier, if its Exchange Server connectivity, NetBIOS, etc... Go with the OpenVPN :) Thanks Noam Rathaus CTO Beyond Security Ltd. http://www.securiteam.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2003 09:45 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: OpenVPN, from the 1st of October supports Win32 Oded Arbel wrote: > I'm using OpenVPN to create a tunnel from my workstation to my home > computer > so I can get in the office network from home (because I couldn't get the RH > only linux SecureRemote client to work, and that's what my company uses), and Hmm, that's exactly the situation I have to face. My workplace uses Checkpoint's VPN, I haven't even bothered to try their SecureClient on my Debian Sid box. We do, however, have an open ssh port (I have yet to try to use it, with tunnelling and stuff). Do you know how would ssh compare in convenience to OpenVPN? I expect I'd mostly need to get to the office' Exchange 5.5 server through this VPN.
