[vpn] VPN Session establishment

[Mohammad Shahzad Saleem]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I want to establish the VPN session during the run time by my Visual
Basic application.
The scenario is:-
I have developed a client server application. I used Oracle as database
and clients are developed in Visual Basic. Database server is located in
the central location and clients are connected to it through LAN.
Now, I want the support of remote clients who are not the part of local
LAN. So I found VPN the best option to use in this case. What I want to
do the is dialup configuration to establish the VPN session at the
client end. I don't want their network administrator to configure VPN
through windows dialup support by dialing it in to my VPN server. I want
this task of establishing the VPN session be done by my application
itself. My application should be able to setup the connection to the
remote VPN server. So that it may be able to use the Oracle database and
so on. To do this I required to know the about the dialup components or
VPN client components. I don't know wether this facility is available to
the developers or not. I don't know wether this approach is workable or
right or wrong.
Please guide me and give me some hint so that I may proceed in the right
direction.

Regards
Shahzad
