      Hello all,

      I configured IPSec as described in the infamous article - IPsec Road Warrior/Mobile Client How-To - which works quite nice.

      Is there a way to configure per user privileges? As for an example what I would like to achieve is

      + USER A is allowed to acces a single server on the LAN
      + USER B is allowed to access any server on the LAN
      + USER C is allowed to to redirect his web traffic only
      

      Additionally is it possible to assign a specific subnet to a specific user? E.g.:

      + USER A: 192.168.0.0/30
      + USER B: 192.168.1.0/30
      + USER C: 192.168.2.0/30
      

      Or maybe assign a very specific IP to a specific user? E.g.:

      + USER A: 192.168.0.1
      + USER B: 192.168.0.1
      + USER C: 192.168.0.1
      

      My feeling and research says it is not possible - IPSec is a get all or nothing solution - and I'd be better using OpenVPN for that kind of scenarios?

      Cheers

          There isn't a way to accommodate that with IPsec. It could easily be done with OpenVPN, however.
