tried cipe for five days. no grok. many tears. much hair loss.
tried vtun. same level of success: negative.
tried tunnelv. same.
before i worry about the fancy encryption and all, isn't there a
way to configure a tunl0 or ethertap or netlink device to do quick
and dirty publicly-visible tunnelling?
there's gotta be a primary missing component that i've not got set up.
according to the iproute2 "ip-tunnels.ps" dox much is possible via
simple ip and routing calls:
# ip tunnel add tunl0 mode gre remote 208.7.139.219 local 208.33.90.85
ioctl: No buffer space available
# ipmasq
# ip tunnel add DIODE mode gre remote 208.7.139.219 local 208.33.90.85
# ifconfig DIODE 192.168.0.1
# ip route add 192.168.0.0/24 via 208.7.139.219 dev DIODE onlink

# ip link list
Cannot send dump request: Connection refused
# ip address show
Cannot send dump request: Connection refused
# ip route show
Cannot send dump request: Connection refused
# ip neigh show

regardless of which package i try, i get some constipation like this
that's entirely obscure to me.
