ubuntu VPN tunnel between 2 ubuntu servers

Posted by Georgecooldude, 12-29-2007, 09:06 PM

Hi all Whats the best way to create a VPN tunnel between two ubuntu servers? Both will be in seperate datacentres but I'd like a secure tunnel so I can setup jobs to backup to one another. This has to be done on the server level and cannot be done at the router/firewall as I do not have access to this kit.

Best or easiest? OpenVPN (in my experience) "just works" (if you read the documentation). IPSec is probably the "correct" way to go, but can be more complicated to set up.
