Ed, Robert and Others:
Dru suggests we use Tightvnc:

That's a good solution for working on a remote machine but in our
case we want to work on a local machine, or local machines.
For example: let's say you have a brand new box and you want to
install and configure FreeBSD on it to use as a desktop machine, surf
the web, check e-mail, IRC, etc. You have internet access but only
via ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS). How would you install and
configure FreeBSD on this machine?
If you could do everything over port 80, that'd be great. But
configuring other clients, e.g. e-mail or IRC, or downloading
packages via ftp requires access to other ports.
If you had a second machine that acted as a VPN gateway, then all
network packets could be routed to it, then tunneled through it to a
third machine acting as a VPN server outside the blocked location,
and then out to the internet. Like this:
local machine --- VPN/GW (port 443) === (port 443) VPN/server ---
{internet}
So our questions are:
1) how to setup the VPN/GW?
2) how to setup the VPN/server?
