RE: [FW1] VPN- FW1, Linksys DSL Router, and Linux client



Title: VPN- FW1, Linksys DSL Router, and Linux client
THere is a number of steps you will need to complete to get this working.  I did, but it did take some trial and error.
 
First, upgrade to the latest bios version of the firmaware on the linksys.  Go here:
 
 
This upgrade is sepcifically for VPN access.
 
Next, check out http://www.freeswan.org page and grab the latest release (1.8).  YOu need a 2.2.17 or later kernel (not sure about the 2.3.x kernels though) - so you will need 6.2 or later and need to be comfortable building a kernel. 
 
I would recommend you install the Securemote client on a winblows box first to make sure you upgraded the Linksys properly and that it is passign VPN traffic.  When that is for sure, you can work on free s/wan and get it working.
 
I have simplified this process greatly.  It took me the better part of a weekend getting it to work, but I didn't know about free s/wan or the linksys firmware upgrade when I started and that should be half the battle.

Subject: [FW1] VPN- FW1, Linksys DSL Router, and Linux client

    Has anyone had any experience with this?

    I have a user who has a home Linux system connecting to the Internet through a Linksys DSL Router.   He wants to VPN to our internal network through CP FW1 which sits on an NT box. 

    Any suggestions?
