Configuring Strong Wi-Fi (802.1X) Authentication in Linux, Part ...

Linux Today  Tue, 12/15/2009 - 12:32

Linux Planet: "As the weaker forms of wireless encryption fail, migrating to stronger encryption protocols becomes more urgent.

Eric Geier shows how to configure Linux clients to use strong encryption to connect to wireless networks."


 

Configuring Strong Wi-fi (802.1x) Authentication in Linux

Linux Today  Mon, 11/23/2009 - 11:33

LinuxPlanet: "Setting up proper wireless encryption is easier than ever on Linux. WEP is broken and has been for a long time, but WPA and WPA2 are still going strong.

Eric Geier shows how to configure your Linux client to connect to a proper wireless encryption and authentication server to set up a secure wireless connection."


 

eyeOS: Your Own Private Linux Cloud that You Control (part 1)

Linux Today  Mon, 09/21/2009 - 10:36

LinuxPlanet: "Cloud computing is a relativity new computing concept where resources are provided via the Internet instead of on the local computer or network.

It's virtualization over the Internet. Eric Geier introduces eyeOS, the do-it-yourself cloud that keeps control in your hands."


 

Secure Remote Access with the Linux-based Untangle Gateway

Linux Today  Tue, 08/25/2009 - 13:02

LinuxPlanet: "An SSL portal isn't as secure as a real VPN (virtual private network) such as OpenVPN, but it's easier to set up and is good for specific functions.

The Untangle gateway makes setting up and managing an SSL-based Web portal fast and easy; Eric Geier shows how."


 

Secure VPN the Easy Way With the Linux-based Untangle Router

Linux Today  Mon, 08/17/2009 - 16:31

LinuxPlanet: "OpenVPN is a genuine secure VPN that supports both site-to-site tunnels, to create a nice secure WAN on the cheap, and remote individual clients.

Eric Geier shows us how to use the Untangle gateway to set up a good stout OpenVPN server the easy way."


 

Protect Your Network with the Linux-based Untangle Gateway

Linux Today  Mon, 07/27/2009 - 11:32

LinuxPlanet: "Eric Geier introduces the Untangle Gateway, a Linux-based user-friendly Internet shield that provides a firewall, ad-blocking, anti-malware, protocol control, secure VPN, WAN balancing and failover, and other advanced and essential services for safely navigating the big bad Internet."


 

Building a Wide-area Linux-based Wireless Network, part 2

Linux Today  Mon, 06/15/2009 - 11:32

LinuxPlanet: "In part 1 Eric Geier introduced us to Open-Mesh, and showed us the basic setup for covering a wider area such as a farm, warehouse, or neighborhood.

Now we'll discover the captive portal options offered by the Open-Mesh routers so we can display a disclaimer or terms of service, or require a payment or account."


 

Setting up a Linux-based Open-Mesh Network, Part 1

Linux Today  Wed, 05/27/2009 - 14:32

LinuxPlanet: "A wireless mesh network lets you multiply a single wired Internet connection over as large an area as you care to manage, such as a farm with remote buildings, a school campus, a neighborhood, even marinas (Internet on your boat!).

You can quickly quickly adapt to changing conditions without laying so much as a foot of cable. Eric Geier shows us how using Linux and open source management tools."
