In that case, you're stacking TCP over TCP, which does not work very
well. See http://sites.inka.de/~W1011/devel/tcp-tcp.html for a pretty
good (technical) explanation on why that is the case.

If you stack it over UDP instead (e.g., with OpenVPN), you should be
fine.

       and pretty much all of them are just lying to themselves too.
