[NTLUG:Discuss] Wingnuts clients need a VPN through a Linux firewall/gateway

Bad news...Took a uphill struggle for me as well to host my wife's VPN
through our Linux firewall/NAPT but I've done it and it's great.

It requires a Linux 2.2.17 (or 2.2.16-22 and better) and a
/lib/modules/2.2.17/ipv4/ip_masq_pptp.o module as well.

Good starting point is:  http://members.home.net/ipmasq/

Unfortunately, only one outstanding inside VPN can be allowed at any one
time.

Hope this help.

Steve
