I'm finally getting around to rebuilding my nat/firewall. This time I'm going to pay a little more attention to security. I would like to be able to administer the server from the outside, and being able to access the private network would be nice too. Vpn is the way I want to go but I've never had luck with isakmpd and getting windows to play nicely with it. I've been using poptop 1.1.3-20030409 on a 3.3 box at work where the only security issues are keeping their virus riddled network from infectning my testing pc's and vice versa. I googled around a bit digging through bugtaq archives and what not and didn't find anything that hasn't been addressed. Good idea/bad idea to run it open to the world? I'd rather not find people sending me email from my internal smtp server again and god knows what else they did.
