casanova Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 I am looking for a router with wireless capabilities and the ability to connect remotely to a designated PC in a network. Does any have a model that they can recommend? Quote
Sparda Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Linksys WRT54G Very popular due to it's high hack-ability level. Quote
c0d3_z3r0 Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Any wireless router will work, just make sure you secure your network. Look on the Hak.5 Episode 1x03 and you'll have some tips on how to do that. I would recommend Linksis, Very good router and it's easy to secure it too. Quote

Guest ABC Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 if your internet connection's adsl (like mine) get the WAG54GS Quote

How would I go about setting that up? I'm guessing my DD-WRT box won't do it, so is it a case of monowall and IP tables? Quote
Sparda Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 OpenVPN server + OpenVPN client + 2048bit key, configure the default gateway of the router as the VPN server. Quote
metatron Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 You can modify this a bit to suit your needs. Creating secure wireless access points with OpenBSD and OpenVPN http://software.newsforge.com/software/05/11/21/175249.shtml Quote
VaKo Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Ok, call me a n00b on this one but its been a long weird day at work: I run openVPN on a computer on my local network. Then I set the default gateway on my router to what IP? The IP of the local machine running the VPN server? That would make no sense. In terms of cabling, 1 box running openVPN, a pool of desktops, a WRT54g and IP addresses, could you give me a 30 second quick overview? Is it a case of just routing all the traffic threw the VPN server before it gets to the router? Or can I do something cool with my routers built in VPN server (which killed my entire offices internet connection)? edit: thanks Metatron, should work like a charm Quote
