Lan to LAN VPN

[omsairamji]

Hi,
I want to setup Win2k VPN Server so that my linux vpn client can connect. Let me explain my scenario. vpn client will be located in DMZ ( First layer DMZ) and my VPN Server where SQL Server will be loaded is located in second DMZ ( that is behind one more firewall). This is basically to access database server in second DMZ thru vpn tunnelling/encryption from my application server which is on a Linux machine. Pls suggest how do I proceed.

do you have a vpn firewall? Not quite sure exactly what you are getting at. If you open a DMZ port on each end, you're effective blowing a straight hole into each system. no security there.

That sounds very insecure. Then again, there's no such thing as real security with linux. You might want to move to one of the BSD flavors, or one of the vendor stabilized kernals. Of course, if you go with a vendor stabilized kernal, it won't be free.


SQL uses port 1433. Wouldn't it make more sense to set up a filter that only allows 1433 from the security hole to SQL?
