[NCLUG] VPN

[Paul Hummer]

Hey guys-

  I've been trying to get some sort of VPN set up for my laptops for 
quite some time, but have had a hard time finding good documentation on 
some of this networking stuff.  What I'd  like to do is set up my 
laptops (two linux laptops, one Mac laptop) to tunnel home to my home 
network (and get a local ip) and then route ALL traffic through that 
tunnel, even if it's just going out to the web (so I'm not broadcasting 
passwords and the like over a wireless network).  I've looked at vtun a 
few times, but have never gotten it to work, mostly because of 
complications in my home network that are now gone.  However, with the 
new Mac laptop, I'm not sure if vtun is available.  I know that it's 
based off BSD, but I'm learning that OS X indeed is a very bastardized 
BSD...

  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I'm assuming I'd have to set up 
some scripts on my laptop and probably my server as well in order to 
accomplish this, but I'm not really sure where to start with that 
either.  I don't really need my handheld, so if you could point me at a 
starting point, I can definitely RTFM.

Thanks,
Paul
