I use shorewall to build the firewall for my router rather than the
stock Fedora iptables. Shorewall has configuration options for a few
different types of "tunnel" applications such as pptp and openvpn style
VPNs. I use openvpn with shorewall and it works perfectly. Highly
recommended.

Hi
Thanks for the advice. I assume that you create the vpn tunnel at the
router with your firewall, what I'd like to do is create a tunnel from
a windows xp workstation inside the network. Is that possible, or is
thei a wishlist?
Thanks
Dan
What flavour of VPN? If you are wanting a Windows client to "dial-in" to a
Windows PPTP VPN server my setup required port 1723/tcp to allow the VPN to be
established, and protocol 47 (GRE) to tunnel the VPN.
