I was googling "freebsd" and "vpn" so I could use my notebook to
handle work stuff remotely, and I found this:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ipsec.html
guess I didn't need google. Regardless, it mentions a lot of kernel
options. I checked my kernel configuration file, to see if they had
been turned on, they weren't even in there and commented out let alone
on (as some optionals are).
What I found and added:
#ipsec: Required for VPN
options IPSEC #IP security
options IPSEC_ESP #IP security (crypto; define w/ IPSEC)
#ipsec optimsations
options FAST_IPSEC # new IPsec (cannot define w/ IPSEC)
options IPSEC_FILTERGIF #filter ipsec packets from a tunnel
before adding these, I just had the default 6.1 generic kernel file
with a few things commented and a couple uncommented.
Am I missing soemeting?
Thanks,
