Dynamic DNS and IPsec or similar VPN

[w1z4rd]

Basically in a nutshell, I have two networks on dynamic dns adsl that I wish to connect together via VPN. Afaik IPsec is the best solution for this, but requires static IP`s, which our cheap skate ISP`s wont give us.

Does anyone know of an easy to use distribution to VPN to networks together on dynamic dns?

Have a look at this site http://gregsowell.com/?p=1523
There's a guide on how to setup using a Mikrotik Routerboard

Have a look at OpenVPN, it is easy to setup and you can use a hostname in the config file. I use it for my remote branch and it works great.

Was about to say openVPN, but bigmc beat me to it

There is lots of configs in openVPN - and best of all, it can be run on IPCop/Smoothwall straightaway.

I have been able to get a working openVPN config working on Ubuntu - and it works great.

It should work with most distro's, I have used it with Centos,SuSE and Gentoo.
