In a previous post I explained the basic pre-requisites that you have to setup before you try to establish a VPN tunnel with Openswan. Also, I tried to explain some related terminology to the best of my understanding (That ‘to the best of my understanding’ part is important … :-) ). In this post, the detailed configuration that worked for me is given.

Recently I had the situation where I had to connect to a VPN via a Checkpoint Security Gateway (R70.x) via Linux with IPSec stack. While there were a lot of posts in the net regarding Openswan to which I am very grateful, I still had to tweak configurations from here and there until I could get it working with collaboration from the admin at the gateway side as well. There is also this great book called ‘Building and Integrating Virtual Private Networks with Openswan’ by Ken Bantoft and Paul Wouters which is like the recommended text for Openswan stuff. For Openswan, this is the background you need for get it working.

I like anime very much. Why? Because of those beautifully drawn characters and landscapes? Definitely. But, ….. in reality, I consider some of those great anime series and films to be beautiful pieces of art. They discuss something more than what is shown in the surface. Something relevant, a social issue, timely or something that is thought provoking. This is true of any great piece of art, irrespective of form or media. It gives the audience something more to think about than just what its outside appearance is.

Indeed it broke the hearts of many Brazilian fans to see their team exit the soccer world cup finals at the quarter final stages. Brazil were among the tournament favourites from the very beginning and even thought Netherlands was a tough team to compete with, no one could say today’s match was an upset result.
