I have a new client that needs to access their 3 system network from
remote locations, the want to use PPTP inbound, terminating at the
firewall, to access the entire network. In most cases I would have
installed a WatchGuard 500 (since they are a very small office), but
that's too much money for their project.
I've looked at the ZyWall units, but they don't say if the support users
connecting to the firewall directly (from remote locations) using PPTP
and then accessing the network.
Anyone got real experience with a NON-PC based solution, must be an
appliance, that is under $500 and doesn't require proprietary VPN
software?
Thanks,
Mark

D-link 804 and other does IPSec , then you install an IPSec
client on the pc-s.

A cisco pix 501 will do pptp and costs under 500 USD.

A small Linux box running iptables and poptop
http://sourceforge.net/projects/poptop/
I have a number of these working nicely in the field.
Oh bugger, I just noticed you said NON-PC and must be an appliance.
Sorry, but I'll post anyway because others might find it useful.

Now that is strange: why NON-PC ????
You would buy any strange box with proprietary software in it, but not
a PC with just a proprietary BIOS ?
Or do you mean NON-WINDOZE ?
In that case, nothing cheaper than a Pentium-1 box (people throw these
things away these days) and a Linux-IPTables firewall.
Can be done without a hard disk, right from a floppy or a CD, without
a video card (managed over the net). Needs little memory too.
Two ethernet cards in it.
Bring along a Unix guy to set it all up.
