Windows 2000 IPSec VPN client

Very newbie question, sorry:

I'd like to connect to our Astaro V5 firwall from my Windows 2000 PC. I configured the connection as Road Warrior in Astaro. On the Windows side, do I need a VPN client software (such as Astaro VPN client), or is it possible to configure the connection in the Windows 2000's SecPol console?

Thanks,

Janos

When you are using RoadWarrior you most probably use PPTP. Therefore you can use standard Windows 2000 PPTP client. Just select it when adding a new Network Connection. There is also a short HowTo on docs.astaro.org

I'd like to use pure IPSec if possible. Or is it necessary to use PPTP in this case?

If you want to use pure IPSec, you need an IPSec Client. I was asuming PPTP, because you mentioned RoadWarrior. There are two different ways to use RoadWarrior and unfortunately I allways bring it only into connection with PPTP access.

Just be aware that the Encryption of PPTP is not as strong as IPSec.
