Need VPN/masquerading help please
Hello everyone, I really need some help. Most likely quite a lot of it. I am a bit of a networking neophyte but I can compile and install anything I need to. I just need help setting up my network. I will attempt to draw my current setup in ASCII:
Pretty standard. I have my home machines behind a DSL router (Netgear DG-834v4) that has a private IP of 192.168.1.1. All other hosts in my home network are 192.168.1.XXX. My ISP assigns me a public IP address via DHCP. When I connect to randomsite.com it goes from my PC to the router, to my ISP's router to the net at large to randomsite.com.Code:+--------------+ +--------------+ +--------------+ | 192.168.1.42 | | 192.168.1.43 | | 192.168.1.44 | +--------------+ +--------------+ +--------------+ \ | / \ | / +-------------------------------+ | Netgear DG834 - 192.168.1.1 | +-------------------------------+ ^ | Internet - public IP assigned by DHCP v +-------------------------------+ | randomsite.com (any TCP/UDP) | +-------------------------------+ * Sees my IP address as public IP assigned by DHCP.
What I *WANT* to achieve is the following:
I have a site on a high-speed server that I want to tunnel all of my network traffic through. Far as as anyone or anything on the internet is concerned, I am sitting on that host.Code:+--------------+ +--------------+ +--------------+ | 192.168.1.42 | | 192.168.1.43 | | 192.168.1.44 | +--------------+ +--------------+ +--------------+ \ | / \ | / +-------------------------------+ | Netgear DG834 - 192.168.1.1 | +-------------------------------+ ^ | Internet - public IP assigned by DHCP v +-------------------------------+ | ISP and the internet at large | +-------------------------------+ ^ | VPN over the Internet v +-------------------------------+ | USA host 64.65.66.67 (Linux) | +-------------------------------+ ^ | Internet v +-------------------------------+ | randomsite.com (any TCP/UDP) | +-------------------------------+ * Sees my IP address as 64.65.66.67
I am sure there are two parts to this: setting up OpenSWAN and setting up IP masquerading. I know how to do neither, and the howto's and docs I have read all assume a greater degree of knowledge than I possess, or don't seem to support the above configuration, which I am sure must be possible somehow. The Netgear does support VPN stuff.
Please can anyone help me set this up? I would be very much obliged.
Thanks in advance.
