Your confusion is because in both my question and
spiff's reply we are referring to using ssh and
http to DO the tunneling, respectively. With ssh,
now that I've found more information (though I'm
still looking for Solaris-specific information),
I know ssh is used to encapsulate a PPP connection.
With the http solution, if it is the same product
I am thinking of, the IP traffic is 'hidden' as
CGI traffic from a web server.
There is a good explanation of using SSH to make
a VPN (admittedly a rewrite of the Linux VPN HOWTO
with their own experiences added in, and IMHO a more
thorough explanation than the HOWTO) at:
http://www.vpn.outer.net/2e/vpnssh.html
I can probably use this info to extend it to
Solaris, but if anyone has any experience getting
this to work specifically in that environment, I'd
appreciate any tips you may have.
Thanks!
