Linux clients sometimes need a little help to connect to Windows VPN servers.
Two benefits of tunneling are encrypted connections and access to resources behind the firewall. When it comes to interoperability, however, establishing these connections is sometimes difficult for Linux clients. Linux distributions often have issues with establishing virtual private network (VPN) connections with servers based in other environments, mainly because the GUI applications used to establish those connections have trouble staying in sync with the pace of Linux development. It is often two steps forward, and once step back: When each distribution ships, the shared libraries often get changed, and your favorite VPN application that used to work no longer succeeds with crossplatform connections. Recently the situation has improved. In this article, I look at some tips for establishing VPN connections from the Linux desktop.
