Everyone,

I am needing to set up a secure channel with another office in order to pass some dicom files back and forth. The remote office is microsoft shop. I have initially looked at openvpn, but the microsoft shop has requested that we use openl2tp in that they already have this running.

Since openl2tp is not part of the CentOS repositories, does anyone have good or bad experiences with this.

Thanks

  • Also note that l2tp is not by itself a secure vpn.. though various people seem to think it is. It needs to be combined with some other layer security usually ipsec or even another vpn solution.

    Gordan and Stephen,

    Thank you both very much.

    I did find strongswan and xl2tpd in epel, and am going to do some testing with this combination.

    Thanks again for your help!!!
