Portland Linux/Unix Group: Virtual Private Networks
Website
Description
Virtual Private Networking
Our illustrious IPv6 authority, Ted Mittelstaedt, will give a talk on popular Virtual Private Network options, including:
1) standard IPSec clients - require static IP at each endpoint, and are supported out of the box by Windows, Cisco IOS, Mac, and Unix using raccoon and similar programs.
2) Modified IPSec VPN clients - example is the Cisco IPSec VPN client. This is a proprietary modification used to allow one end to have a dynamic IP number.
3) SSL VPN clients. Cisco has one they call AnyConnect that is proprietary. OpenVPN is another example.
4) PPTP. This was supposed to have died years ago but since Microsoft ships the PPTP client with Windows it is still very useful in situations where the network admin is forced to provide VPN services to clients that she has no control over.
5) L2TP. This is what PPTP morphed into, Microsoft supports it natively, so it has the same benefits (to the network admin) as PPTP plus the Microsoft implementation allows for encryption using IPSec with certificates.
Ted is the Co-Owner of Portlandia IT and author of the FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide
Many attendees will break for a social hour at the Lucky Lab Brew Pub NW at 1945 NW Quimby
