Hi!
I've used openSSH daemon for several clients for 3
years now. Almos everything I need goes through
it: sqlnet, telnet, ssh&scp themselves, VNC, even X11. And OpenSSH is
open-source & freeware. I use putty for ssh terminal, I really like it. And
it's freeware too. It didn't support certificate based authentication a year
ago, that's why I occasionally use a commercial SSH client as well. But now
it might be ok.
The nice thing is that, that one of my customer was
offered to buy two $10000 boxes for doing VPN between their offices, but we
recommended to delay the purchase a bit and see our solution. We spent about 1,5
hours (had openssh compiling problems on Tru64), and set up a fully functional
system for remote operations support with less than $200 bucks :)
Also, ssh tunnels solution to only needed locations
is safer than "open" VPN, because it eliminates most of
spreading opportunities for viruses/worms which might get loose in one
office. (at least as long you aren't doing any tunnels to M$ software
;)
Tanel.

Yes, there is a way of doing that through a SSH tunnel. I
have the bookmark at home, I'll send it
to you as soon as I get there (~7 P.M. EST, it is 4:41 EST now). Jared
also has it, so he may be
so
nice to send it to you.

Guys,
When user trys to run our application
through a VPN behind the firewall in a url they get an error. They can
use ssh to get to host where I installed the application server but not run
the application through their browser. Anyone deal with this issue
before?
Thanks,
Paula
