OK, ssvl.<br />
I'll have to do some digging into the documentation, and then do some testing as well.<br />
I have hoped to save time by requesting information from this forum, but it seems to me that I'll have to do most of the job myself.<br />
<br />
Anyway: I'll give you full credit for this.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a server with two NICS: one is connected to the dmz and the other is connected to the internal LAN.<br />
Now I want to use the adito software (open-source version of SSLExplorer) to create a vpn-server.<br />
The server runs Ubuntu version 8.10 OS, and I wonder how I should set it up to achieve my goal.<br />
The dmz and the internal LAN are already protected by a firewall system.<br />
My final aim is that users will be able to connect to the NIC on the dmz, authenticate, and then get access to the internal LAN.<br />
Q1: Do I have to install some form of firewall to maintain security, or could this be taken care of by the adito software ?<br />
Q2: Which packages do I have to install on the Ubuntu box?<br />
Q3: Any other things I should be aware of?<br />

Ubuntu 8.10 as vpn-server using adito

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
