DD-WRT has a number of interesting features, but I wanted to highlight one that I hadn't seen in any other product. I think it's a great candidate for m0n0wall. DD-WRT is able to act as a PPTP *client* and connect one network to another--in much that way that IPSec is often used. Except that PPTP is easy to configure, and IPSec--well, not so much. For me, this has been excellent, because I have a few machines at home and a number of VMWare images. They're all able to talk to the office at the same time--unlike regular PPTP which places some restrictions on the source network address of clients. As I said in other mail, this has been very solid. I've had no problems of any kind. (I used the PPTP client on the Mac for a while before switching to this approach, so I know that was solid too.) To make this work you configure DNSMasq to forward a particular zone to a particular server, rather like this: server=/<zone>/<ip> You can find more info on the DD-WRT wiki. Highly recommended, and potentially a great addition to m0n0wall too. |
