Re: AW: [gentoo-hardened] Freeswan installation and setup

[Prabhat Gupta]

Martin,

Thanks. I will try that.
Do you know any tutorial on freeswan setup or any suggestions for my setup.

I have following setup:

Net A <--->Netgear router <--> cable modem ---INTERNET ---- cable modem 
<--->Dlink router <--> Net B

In the net A, I have a gentoo machine with iptables firewall installed 
and I am trying to install FREESWAN. The same situation is on Net B. I 
want to setup a VPN between net A and net B.

I will appreciate any help.

Thanks
Prabhat
