UTM 9 VPN access for Ubuntu DT 13.10

Dementech
Hi

I need a recommendation and some tutoring I'm sure.

I have an ASG220 UTM 9 and would like to connect to it securely with Ubuntu 13.10 Desktop.

I currently have PPTP and L2TP/IPSec VPNs on the UTM 9; the L2TP/IPSec VPN's authentication mode is set to Preshared Key.

This works fine for Windows computers, but I need a solution for Ubuntu.  I see other options for Remote Access, i.e., SSL, HTML5 VPN Portal, and Cisco VPN Client.  Would one of those VPN options be more suitable for a secure VPN connection from Ubuntu?

Could someone please help with a step-by-step how-to, or point me to some good documentation.

Thanks

    First of all if you want to securely connect drop PPTP (it's just not the most secure method of connecting).

    I don't have a step-by-step how-to, but I would try going with SSL VPN (which uses OpenVPN and that would most likely also be available in Ubuntu). Your users can download the necessary files from the userportal after configuring SSL-VPN in the UTM.

    Managing several Sophos UTMs and Sophos XGs both at work and at some home locations, dedicated to continuously improve IT-security and feeling well helping others with their IT-security challenges.

    Sometimes I post some useful tips on my blog, see blog.pijnappels.eu/category/sophos/ for Sophos related posts.
