Re: [ubuntu-uk] Remote support for family & friends

I was going to do to that, but I already knew when I was setting up my Aunt's machine that her existing DSL modem was on it's way out... knowing I wasn't going to have to sort out port forwarding from ~200 miles away was a BIG bonus for me, which is why I went the OpenVPN route. If you've got a *r
