If I got it correctly, what the VPN-HOWTO does is creating a pseudo, or
virtual network when it has an underlying real network. In fact, it is using
an existing network to create a virtual network above it.
My problem, putting it in a simplifying manner, is that I have the wires
that connect the machine but do not have the real network above it.
Or am I wrong ?
As it seems to me now, I will either have to start learning the PPP source, or
get myself another router.
BTW: How can root put raw data on the Ethernet device ? If there is no /dev
for it, then how can someone open this device ?
