Oh it has a steep learning curve that lasts less than an hour.. once you get
your head around it,
OpenVPN is so easy it's almost trivial. The most complex part is getting the
ssl certificate
generation sorted, and that is only a matter of reading the docs..

Yeah, I had thought of that one.. problem I see here is sometimes when I'm
overseas the networks I'm
on seem to firewall dns, and you *have* to go through their dns servers.. which
effectively neuters
bind. (Used to run a caching bind server on my old laptop and came up against
that a couple of times).
I guess I could write a dhclient scriptlet to update the bind config files with
the local
forwarders.. I wonder how bind copes with negative responses. Guess I'll have a
look and find out.
Ugly, but perhaps it just might work agent 86.
