VPN making and connecting, help please

Dec 12 05 1:04 am

i looked threw posts, and faq and white something and can;t find an answer, sory if that's been asked or answered somwhere.

Problem goes: computer A and B both have i-net acces, but comp. A has crappy internet. Computer A and B are in the same town but do not have any direct connection between them. They both have ip's visible from outside.

I would like that comp. A connect to his internet service provider, establishes internet connection and then connects to computer B and since now on all internet conectoins (www, ftp...) that comp A makes goes threw computer B. (its called proxy i think)

How can i do that? Which programs do i need and on which compuer? Do i need to have Win xp pro on compu B?

Any help appreciated.

You can do that with Wingate - if you create a VPN tunnel between these two computers and then configure computer A to use B as a proxy for all the connections.

Creating a VPN tunnel is normally done automatically by the VPN software when you set up a VPN between two machines/networks.

However for your situation you may not need to set up a VPN between these two machines.

You can use the proxy on Comp B from Comp A, however you need to take steps to ensure that this doesn't create insecurities. You would be best to set up policies on Comp B so that any use of the WWW proxy from the outside required authentication.
