Yes, ssh is usually my choice for one-time tunnels, but I took the opportunity to setup a full-fledged VPN against this national server, just in case I needed anything else :) In any case, (quote form man ssh here) "Since an SSH-based setup entails a fair amount of overhead, it may be more suited to temporary setups, such as for wireless VPNs. More permanent VPNs are better provided by tools such as ipsecctl(8) and isakmpd(8).". - -- Arturo "Buanzo" Busleiman - Consultor Independiente en Seguridad Informatica Servicios Ofrecidos: http://www.buanzo.com.ar/pro/ Unase a los Foros GNU/Buanzo - La palabra Comunidad en su maxima expresion. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFG7ZhSAlpOsGhXcE0RCuAtAJ0coPxWG6Vo803NKne6DNrsaKcpyACfavLU k3+FEhsG930qw0QMttmouno= =CyLg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
