VPN

Hi,
   I found this thread about the limitation on outgoing VPN connections
http://forum.m0n0.ch/index.php/topic,140.0.html#msg566

Is there any plan to change this? Is the problem with the GRE process? If so, any plan to upgrade it? Is it a problem with the protocol in general?

I ask because my company refuses to set up an IPSEC tunnel for me. I am trying to find other options for connecting two clients from my network to the vpn at work.

I was recently traveling and was able to connect two clients from the remote location that was using a DLink router so it is my firewall that is the problem.

Is there anyway for one client to share it's vpn connection with other clients on my network? i.e. Client 1 connects to the vpn. Client 2 connects to other systems on remote network via client 1.

If anyone has a suggestion about getting around this, all ideas are welcome.

Multiple public IPs is the only possibility, one per connection. ipfilter is only capable of translating one GRE session per public IP. That may change in a future ipf release, but that's outside of any m0n0wall developers' control.

Multiple public IPs is the only possibility, ....

Are you talking about multiple public ips on my end or theirs? If my end, how do I make clients use a different public ip?

additional public IPs on the server end for sure but I think with 1:1 NAT you might be able to get it to work with multiple IPs on your end.  However, you might be better off just replacing your m0n0wall with a cheep Linksys or D-Link router.
