The folks over at ntop.org have a great peer-to-peer vpn package which could be a great alternative to Hamachi. A Network Manager plugin would certainly make n2n more accessible, going right along with the nm design goals. Using n2n is the simple matter of throwing a few options to the binary on the command line - even easier than vpnc. Unfortunately I know next to nothing about C programming. I figured I may as well take a stab at mocking up a glade properties dialog and see if I can just do a whole mess of renaming vpnc to n2n and beat up on the code until it compiles. At this point I have not read enough to understand much about how the vpn pieces fit into Network Manager and integrate with dbus. I cloned the git tree for network-manager-vpnc and did my little glade hacking. Assuming that [step 1: spend a year to become a barely adequate C programmer] isn't going to happen - for such a seemingly small project, am I up against an unlikely-to-succeed task trying to get a network-manager-n2n up and running?
