Ok, no RSA certs, no non-standard port numbers, just use openvpn? So I would set up openvpn on my remote server and connect to it from: 1. my local print server for printing 2. my laptop for ssh and imap Could I also only allow access to my website's admin pages through openvpn? - Grant -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
