All traffic via StrongVPN/HideMyAss etc.???

BorisTheSpider
Hi,

I am considering getting one of the public VPN services like HideMyAss or StrongVPN - can I use the site-to-site VPN functionality in Astaro and set this up so any internet bound traffic gets routed via the VPN service?

I believe, from initial reading, the SSL vpn wouldn't work for this because I wouldn't have the right type of config file to give my astaro, so I guess it's got to be IPSEC.

If people have done this, perhaps you could tell me which particular providers of VPN service this is tested and working with, and any setup pointers you can provide are obviously appreciated.

    Pointer: you'll need to set something up to monitor the VPN and make sure it's connected.


    Barry, thanks for the reply and helpful link.


    It occurs to me that monitoring may not be that useful, in that I want to block everything from leaving the network that doesn't go via the VPN even when I am not around or haven't noticed an admin email yet. I'd prefer to prevent other traffic entirely.

    I guess it's impossible to do that using normal firewall rules, since they will trigger on traffic destination rather than "how" the traffic leaves the LAN.

    One thought is that it might be possible to kludge this together with policy routes - perhaps I could set up interface routes so that SSL-VPN traffic went via the DSL uplink interface, and all other traffic via the VPN interface (presumably a S2S vpn shows up as an interface, or have I got this all wrong????)



    Any ideas?
