Secured connections from ADSL

Jul 06, 2005 0 Replies

Hello Everybody,



I have been asked to establish a secured WAN based on one static IP (DSL connection at the head office) and many dynamic IPs (branches connected through ADSL to Internet).


At the head office I have already ZyWALL 70 which can handle many VPN tunnels, even from dynamic IPs.



I would like branches to route all Internet traffic and network traffic through a central router and wonder if this is possible at all?


For example:


  1. I will connect branch computer to ADSL through regular USB ADSL modem.


  1. Than will install Zyxel VPN software (which is more or less SoftRemote program -
    formatting link
    on this computer and configure the VPN tunnel to the head office (to the ZyWALL router)

  2. Than - don't know what to setup more so all network and Internet traffic will go through VPN tunnel (incoming and outgoing)



Ad 3. - Because branch computers are often Win98 (there are some XP) I would not like them to be connected with Internet totally unsecured. So this is the reason I would like this connections to go both ways (incoming/outgoing) through a central router.


Is it possible without buying a special ADSL router?


I will appreciate any advice



With best regards



Mike
