VPN for a small organization [closed]

VPN for a small organization [closed] I am in charge of a small office network that has < 10 users. I want to be able to offer them access to the network from their home internet connections. At the moment we have a regular ADSL-router-firewall to provide local network access and a fixed IP address.

I'd recommend looking at something like Untangle. It's a UTM that offers a free module called "Open VPN." Since you're a small business, this might be perfect for you because all of the default software (including Open VPN) is free. They do offer some modules and support services that require a license, though.

"how does FREE sound to you? :)

The Vyatta Community Edition
(VC) is award-winning, Linux-based,
open source software providing
routing, firewalling, VPN,
intrusion prevention, and WAN load
balancing services, among others, for
your network. When you run Vyatta on a
standard x86 hardware system, you'll
create a powerful network appliance
that can run circles around
proprietary systems.

well, you'll need a spare box but the software is free."

"Check out Cisco's Small Business Solutions. Nortel Contivty boxes are also fairly cheap.

I suggest SonicWall firewalls from the TZ line. Some models are under $500, although some advanced features are subscription based. For Windows VPN software there is a SonicWall client, and for Macs there is the free IPSecuritas.

"I don't know anything about it but Barracuda Networks is always advertising a VPN solution along with a host of other products.

Note, I can't comment on anything about them as I have never used any of the services/products. Something for your to investigate."
