Remote Linux machine to Windows VPN Server

  • 772

I have our Win2K3 server setup as a VPN pptp server. It works 100% no problem from remote clients.

I've setup a remote linux server running samba. Its sole purpose is to be an offsite backup for our backup server. Basically an offsite NAS BOX.

I want to connect the remote linux server over VPN. So should the remote linux be running a VPN client or VPN server?

Thank you, Shai

    I'd just VPN into the Windows Server machine using a VPN client on the Linux server. Just makes things easier and has the same effect. pptpclient.sourceforge.net FTW!! =)
