Re: VPN over wireless

2015feb25@xxxxxxxxx hath wroth:

I have a pc

Maker, model, operating system, wireless card, etc???

that is behind a wireless router

Maker, model number, hardware version, firmware version????

which in turn is
connected to a cable modem.

Maker, model number, ISP name, speed of service????

I would like to secure the connection
between the pc and the router to prevent packet sniffing and would
like to use vpn to secure this connection.

WPA2 isn't secure enough? Are you running an open wireless system for
the neighbors to use and a VPN is your way of repairing the inevitable
security holes?

The router does support vpn connections

Does it terminate the VPN connection? Or does it merely support "VPN
passthru? What type of VPN (PPTP, IPSec, SSL, etc)? Are you using a
3rd part VPN client manager?

and I have generated an RSA
key.

The RSA key is for authentication, not authorization. That's a nice
feature to insure that nobody has spoofed or stolen your connection,
but is not necessary for the basic operation. All VPN clients can use
something local to provide authentication, such as the MAC address, IP
address, machine serial numbers, or X.509 certificate?

I'm just not sure of the steps that need to be implemented on
the pc and would appreciate some help or if someone could direct me to
a tutorial on this topic.

Tutorial? First you supply:
1. Exactly what are you trying to accomplish?
2. What do you have to work with (hardware, software, etc)?
