VPN, QoS

Last time DARK (my group of buddies) had this crazy idea of VPN-ing our home networks. Chatted with Keny yesterday and so happened he was thinking about it too. Thought of using dd-wrt based routers to do point-to-point VPN but seems like using ms chap for authentication is not really secure. *roll eyes*

Had another crazy idea of using a small device, perhaps a D-Link DIR-300 to QoS my network. The QoS provided by the DIR-655 is not really extensive. I was looking for guaranteed bandwidth and stuffs. But seems like none of the third party firmwares offer protocol analysis. One major concern would be the switching capacity and connection session. Hope it would be more than what my DIR-655 can handle!

Time to look for a traffic shaper that has been implemented on third party devices.
