On slow connections, i.e. dial up, GPRS/EDGE, etc., the overhead impact is noticeable. Not much on fast DSL connections.

I ain't no networking guru but from my tech support days whenever my users run encryption on consumer grade routers they complain about slow connections. I usually explain to them that it's because encrypting your connection on wireless is a trade off between security and speed. Don't be too harsh if I got it wrong, it's my first time and it might hurt... he he he On 6/11/07, JM Ibanez < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:"Shae Tan" < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Are there port restrictions (e.g. I want to ssh tunnel or access VPN)? At least on Smart 3G, you can ssh but you can't access some "unfamiliar" services. For example, the native git protocol is not allowed, so you'll have to tunnel that somehow. Which, since ssh is allowed, is plausible. BTW, useful ssh trick/switch: ssh -D <port> <your_server> The above creates a SOCKS 4 proxy on <port>, using <your_server> as the endpoint of the SOCKS 4 proxy. Useful when combined with the tsocks library/tool (On Ubuntu, apt-get install tsocks) -- JM Ibanez Software Architect Orange & Bronze Software Labs, Ltd. Co.
