      I'm trying to figure out why you are VPNing into something that isn't your firewall? and I'm not talking about HTTPS stuff here.

      What do you mean? Firewalls are handy, of course, but you just open the ports and connect to the VPN server. Only in the SMB can you get firewalls big enough to do VPN as well.

      Windows Server, OpenVPN servers, DirectConnect, Pertino, ZeroTier, Hamachi... all meant to be VPNs that are behind the firewall.

      Is the OP in need of a system like that?

      The OP isn't talking about firewalls at all.

      No, he's talking about VPNs.

      Neither as far as I can see.

        Yeah, this conversation on VPNs and Firewalls is a tangent, based on someone saying that they didn't like virtualizing their VPN server.

          In reality, KVM is the better choice most of the time.

          Any experience with QEMU? How does it compare?

            He has an incredible amount of experience with it but you're likely to use virt-manager at least at first

                @bj Ah. I am in the process of learning everything the manual way first and then I will eventually branch out. Studying for my RHCE

                      Both really. It's a terrible company with a weird product that doesn't really have any purpose in the market.

                        It was in use before I got here, and though we don't pay for it (we have to deal with annoying reminders, but otherwise it seems to work fine) it seems to work ok. What solution do you prefer?

                          @bj I don't personally use anything like proxmox. What does it offer you that you cannot live without?

                            In order?

                            1. Hyper-V Server
                            2. KVM (Fedora based)
                            3. KVM (CentOS based)

                            Note: This is production preferences. Not lab.

                                  I guess there is a reason this is the first time I've ever heard of it being brought up. I thought it worked in tandem with a hypervisor to make managing the VM's easier

                                    It's really just a management interface. It's how I trained myself on command line management because it'd mess things up for you when we were running it.

                                      Yeah, it's just a management interface. It simplifies management somewhat.

                                        That was my impression. I guess JB is just saying you don't need anything more than what hyper-v and KVM offers, which is true.

                                          ProxMox is a package, like XenServer. It takes KVM and some container tech and merges them together under a single interface. It's a bit silly.

                                            And now defaults to ZFS if it wasn't bad enough before.
