Security Basics: RE: NT VPDN advice

["Malik Khan" <akhan () manpowernc com>]

Configure the Server to be Certificate Authority and issue the sever a
computer certificate and the client machines with certificates as well,
then configure the VPN Server to use L2TP with IPSec. Hope this helps.

Ports to Open on your Firewall:
UDP:1701
UDP:500
 IP:50

Thanks,
Malik

Good day,
I need advice on a setup I want to do. I have a Windows 2000 Server PDC
that I also want to use as a Remote Access VPN (VPDN) gateway. The
server is for a small company and ease of administration and
minimisation of costs is very important. What I am thinking of doing is
to use this domain controller to setup the VPDN. The company has only 4
users. The firewall software that will used is Cisco IOS Firewall. We
will be forwarding all VPN connections from here to the PDC. 
Any ideas how I can make this more secure without having to add
additional equipment and expensive software?

Regards

KL
