VPNC

I am proud to say that VPNC works great. I still have to do a little more configuring to make it so that I no longer have to input all the parameters each time I log in. I am writing from the school library using Ubuntu and VPNC as my connection. For those of you out there who need to use VPN and find Cisco's product troublesome, this is a great solution.

I note that it needs to be run as root to have the proper access. Also you need to know what gateway you are logging on to, the group name and password as well as your own name and password. It does however make those public connections much more secure. I am very happy to use this solution on campus, and no longer rely on windows every time I'm on campus.

If anyone has any other solutions, please let me know and I'll update it here.
