    Default VPN - question [dissertation/project]

    Hi guys,

    I was wondering if you could give me your thoughts on VPN. I am covering this for my final year dissertation at university.
    I am investigating some different protocols and was interested in getting a feel for what people use if they do.

    the main thing I was wanting to know is,
    • Do you use it?
    • If so what type do you use?


    e.g.
    PPTP
    IPSEC
    L2TP
    SSL/SSH

    I dont mind if its for home or work and you dont have to mention what the VPN is for so you can keep your secret things secret

    Any information would help greatly for my project

    Cheers,
    Simon

    Yes, I use it. I use SSH usually to tunnel into boxes at work. What information would you like to know?

    I would suggest turning this into a poll perhaps

    I use SSH while out and about to log into my little linux NAS (It's 200MHz.... very slow, but it works) for mainly IRC, but also use it to remotely wake up my computers if needed or to remotely connect to them via RDC.

    Crenn is that irc to send commands or are you hosting a channel on it? sounds interesting either way.
