Re: [FW1] PPTP thru SecuRemote ...?



Title: RE: [FW1] PPTP thru SecuRemote ...?
Hi,
 
I really tried, but I could not understand the advantage or purpose of using PPTP AND SecuRemote.
 
I can't see anything on PPTP that cannot be implemented better (easier, safer and more manageable) with Securemote / SecureClient...
 
Wins, domains and so can be reached and managed using for example SDL...
 
I'd like to better understand the need itself for the combinated funcionality and maybe I can suggest alternatives.
 
Best regards
 
Aylton

Andreas,

I do agree with you that it is easier, especially if you have dual firewalls, then you can tunnel through to the internal network after connecting via securemote. I have had the config working, but not consistantly. ie. it was working in my test network for a while and now it does not and I did not change anything, so I can not give you a definitive answer. If someone else can I would be interested in hearing about it.

Hi,



has anybody ever tried or managed to get to work a pptp vpn thru a
securemote-connection? I remember talking to
a guy who got it working (unfortunately I don't remember his name :-( )
I tried serveral times with no success ... . The PPTP maschine on the
internal LAN always tried to connect
to the external adress of the securemote client - so I think the problem is
that the traffic does not go
back thru the securemote tunnel ... .

For those who do not understand why to do such a thing: it's a perfect
solution for admins .. no wins, domain, ... problems ..
