Hi there,

You seem to have had no response on the list to your original question.
That's probably because nobody else is using such a very old version of
IPCop to do what you're doing.  There might be a good reason for that,
and I'm a little surprised nobody mentioned it. :)

I've never seen an unstable version of IPCop, but your older versions
do suffer from numerous security holes and other issues.  I recommend
that you upgrade them ASAP.

I've never had any great liking for the VPN provided by IPCop itself.
I use OpenVPN, and if you are prevented from upgrading your old IPCops
(I assume that this is because of war, earthquake, or not being able
to book a flight on the next space shuttle:) then in the interim you
could use OpenVPN instead.

I'm on the road for a few (more) days, so I can't easily pick up email
and if you want more information I'm sure others will be able to help.
The OpenVPN documentation is thorough and last time I looked there was
good help available via the OpenVPN user community.  I recommend using
OpenVPN on machines within the firewalled networks, not on IPCop.
