IP COP which is an open Source Linux based firewall seemed to fulfill my needs and was chosen. IP COP works flawlessly, but I want to try an OPEN VPN solution and this is not supported natively in IP COP.
I have found this how2 describing how to install and configure Open VPN on IP COP. It describes using the Zerina OpenVPN extension for IPCop based firewalls.

Installation adress as precise as possible

  • Street adress
  • Entrance number (if there is one)
  • Floor
  • Room
  • A telephone number at the site (often needed by the internet provider to precisely locate the adress)

Technical information
Two public IP-addresses in a /30 subnet (mask 255.255.255.252). This is based on my company where we uses Cisco VPN equipment

  • 1 IP adress for NAT/IPSec
  • 1 IP adress for the default gateway to the ISP

Support information needed for supporting the new site

The internet provider must supply this information.

  • Name of the internet provider
  • Reference number of the ADSL-line
  • Documentation of the Service Level Agreement of the ADSL connection (uptime of connection, response time for support, etc)
  • Support email address
  • Support phone number

This should ensure that you get the part of the DSL line correct. The next step is to configure the VPN router correctly. That is a whole different matter and npt subject of this article.
