There is a range of encryption and authentication options, which can include certificates. It has disadvantages compared to IPSec, but it isn't dependent on endpoint IP addresses, so will pass through layers of NAT without any faffing about. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Actually it is not an address but the partial (due to lack of display space) reverse DNS of 173.255.189.129 : Name :129.189.255.173.client.dyn.strong-mf35.as54203.net Address: 173.255.189.129 One should always run the route command with the -n option to avoid reverse name resolution which, as can be seen, obfuscates the output. >> 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 eth1 > > I notice that your shared eth1 local LAN network is using > 192.168.1.0/24, > and your machine's IP address on eth1 is 192.168.1.30. > > That address, 192.168.1.30, will be the local LAN's gateway to your > external VPN.

The routing table is correct if François wants to share the VPN with the rest of the LAN. François must review the iptables rules to check that : - SNAT/MASQUERADE is enabled on ppp0 - FORWARDed packets between eth0 and ppp0 are accepted. Also, he must check which DNS the machines on the LAN use. If they use the DNS proxy/relay provided by the internet box or the Debian router, then it is fine. But if they use the DNS provided by the ISP, these won't reply when queried through the VPN. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Well, but I really don't have much time to install each and everything and then to decide.

Correct but at least if some particular MUA is used by several people (more than any other MUA is used by some people) then the particular MUA is worthy of use.

Thunderbird is the most use GUI MUA, because it's used on other platforms too. IOW, for Debian it's Icedove. Debian needs to rename Thunderbird, but that's another story. Mozillas (not only Thunderbird/Icedove), KMail, Evolution and Sylpheed are often used.

I would Google and see why Debian want the other name for Thunderbird...whatever...Now, I have to think for only three candidates: KMail, Evolution and Thunderbird for the time beingmay be one by one. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Thanks for the help, again.

Need help recovering from 'experiment' in firefox
I was trying different preference settings in firefox per the long rookie's query thread. I managed to get my firefox into a condition where the specified start page in preferences is 'about:blank' but the actual start page is 'New Tab'. I can change the text in the 'Home Page:' text box but changing it has no effect on actual start page, which remains 'New Tab'. And I cannot open the 'about:blank' page manually. I have all my bookmarkes sites and can use firefox to access the sites I want, but --- I know I have used 'about:blank' in the past when I had other problems with firefox and I was told to go to 'about:blank' and tweek something to get things working again. Now I need suggestions about what to change, or remove, in ~/.mozilla to bring back 'about:blank', because I want it ready and waiting for those rare occasions. Of course, I would also like to avoid introducing new damage into my set-up.

I can change the text in the 'Home Here, I can't specify a start page in that way (i.e. typing it in), but only from a drop down list, the choices being "Show my home page", "Show a blank page" and "Show my windows and tabs from last time".

I distinctly remember typing into that text box, but that was from long ago. Now is as you say.
