I need to setup a VPN between a few sites. From what I've read, the the
|
|
choices come down (on the Linux side) to IPsec (using FreeSWAN) or CIPE.
|
|
It seems that FreeSWAN is 'better', being an implementation of IPsec which
|
|
is a standard. However, CIPE does the job as well for Linux clients and is
|
|
somewhat simpler to setup.
|
|
|
|
The problem is that it's not a pure Linux situation - a couple of the sites
|
|
run OS-X. I'm pretty sure that I'll be able to find an implementation of
|
|
IPsec for OS-X, but I think CIPE is Linux only.
|
|
|
|
So, the question is for those of you have have implemented BOTH - is there a
|
|
significant difference in setup time and hassle between CIPE and FreeSWAN ?
|
|
If CIPE is going to be much easier than dealing with FreeSWAN (and whatever
|
|
on the OS-X sites) then I'll simply get a Linux box for each of the remote
|
|
sites - with the low price of hardware, it doesn't take much more complexity
|
|
in software to make buying hardware to use simpler software economic.
