[Openswan Users] Linux Client and routing

[Alexandre Ghisoli]

Hello there,

I've few OpenSWAN VPN gateways with dual network interfaces (one is 
Internet, one is internal) running linux 2.6.19, NETKEY.

I've setup L2TP / IPSec for roadwarriors, using X.509 certificates for 
security and then username / password for the L2TP.
This works well for Windows users, they get internal IP adresses.

Now come the Linux Roadwarriors .. and this cause more troubles.
I was investingating the L2TP way also, but seems too complicated for 
clients with low knowledge.

So, with a regular IPsec tunnel, it's easy to setup a tunnel, but I 
cannot contact company lans, because  packets come from my notebook home 
lan (private 192.168, like 99% of the cases).

Then, I'm trying now NAT rules on my VPN gateway box, but this is not 
working very well.

Any suggestion / Ideas ?

Oh, also I'll add MacOS clients very soon too, the solution must be on 
gateway side, since I'm not familar with MacOS setups.

Thanks for your time
