Likewise it has been a while for me too since I last looked at VPN, the value of the comments in this email match what you paid for them. >> So what's the state of play in the VPN on Linux world - both ends would be >> running Devuan (one end an AMD64 VM, the other end rPi) ?

Unless permanently connecting two separate offices (multiple hosts both ends) I found the aggravation of setting up a VPN just not worth the effort. I find I can do everything needed over ssh, even installing and running x11vnc on the remote (Linux) host to take control of the desktop so I never bothered with RDC\RDP applications.
