[H-GEN] Request for help with smoothwall firewall

[Ronald Bradford]

Hi All,

We are seeking some assistance in the completion of the configuration of 
a Smoothwall Firewall at our organisation.
While I'm a literate IT Linux user in general system administration, 
moving from theory of firewalls to practice has been a new experience 
which I'm now completely comfortable with for general installation, DMZ etc.

However two things remain, VPN & VNC access.   I've been unsuccessful in 
doing testing of VPN access from a Windoze machine (which all staff use).
While there is a certain amount of accessible documentation, it's a lot 
to wade through and consensus is VPN is complicated, and with Microsoft 
not supporting IPsec very difficult hence my request for anybody that 
could give some valuable assistance first hand.

There is unfortunately no money available in response to help. We are a 
not for profit organisation and are very stretched are suffering greatly 
like most other similiar organisations this calendar year due to world 
events.

Thanks

Regards

Ronald Bradford
