Hi,

First make sure that you read
Many simple configuration things are there.

Then, the trouble is on VPN, which is quite specific. Once more, the Internet is full of resources on that.
I read 'Red Hat Linux Networking and system administration' (ISBN 0-7645-3632-X), from Red Hat, quite a good basis for all you require...

Congratulations, I think it is a really good idea to get a good grasp of the conceptual stuff reading a book ;-)

I do suggest to check out the O'Reilly books
(www.oreilly.com). I generally found them well written. They might have something for your spedific distribution, else e.g. the essential system administration book is a good start.

The Linux Bible is a good title that covers most of those topics.

It can be found at amazon.com and other good tech book sites.

The book comes with a Linux Distribution, which is nice.

I would advise against using ipchain firewall, its obsolete. The book covers both ipchains and iptables. iptables is more secure because its getting updates, ipchains is a dead end product.

I also recommend a search of itrc, there are good threads and topics right in here.
