I totally agree with the mindset of one step at a time. Although I am reasonably confident in the security of our wireless network it is a possible security hole that should be closed off from anything VPN related. I am going to delve much deeper into the capabilities of out hardware router to make sure it can do what I need it to do and go from there. Wish me luck and thank you again Cheers Michael Kelly >>> John Locke <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 02/04/2004 10:55:23 am >>> On Fri, 2004-04-02 at 11:47, Michael Kelly wrote: > Hello again, > > I understand your point about not really gaining anything by my > proposed idea. > > If I setup a gateway machine behind the router, no firewall on the > gateway machine, that is also running the openVPN software any employees > who hook up wirelessly to the network will not go through the gateway > and therefore not have proper access to the VPN. > Well now, add wireless to the mix and I'll contradict myself. Segmenting your wireless network from your wired LAN is a very good reason for using two different gateways/routers. > I am however still very curious about the gateway idea, so long as it > is possible to have connected to the network behind the hardware > router. > > I am far from giving up on the this project John, and I am positive I > will get a working solution soon > I would suggest first getting it working the way I suggested. The general rule I follow when setting up systems is one step at a time--try to do everything, and something won't work. You'll spend far more time trying to figure out what's causing your problem than it takes to change one thing at a time and test at each step.
