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

Aylton,

Like I said, the biggest advantage of using PPTP after establishing the SR connection is where you have dual level, multi vendor firewalls. Assuming the external FW is FW-1 then you can establish the Securemote connection to the border FW, then tunnel through the second FW to the internal n/w, or to the second firewall if supported. This also adds another level of authentication.

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.
