OSX VPN Server

[jimmysoho]

Hi,

- Can OSX Server run on an iMac G5?

- To configure an iMac G5 or PowerMac G5 to run as a VPN server, is the only way to do this by installing OSX Server? Is there a way to get VPN server software "for free", and install this on a default installed iMac G5 (i.e. with the default OSX Tiger software) ?



regards,
jimmy

Yes.

It is by far and away the easiest way to get VPN services, but not the cheapest. There is other VPN software you can install on Mac OS X non-server versions:

It's not free, though. Free VPN Servers are hard to come by -- at least, I can't find any after a good Googling.
