OpenVPN sounds very cool and I plan to look into it. Does it require a custom VPN client on Windows? I could be wrong since I havent tried it yet, but Id beg to differ on the claim that setting up OpenVPN is *easier* than doing the same in a custom firmware. You already said you updated to the latest linksys firmware. Updating to a custom firmware takes exactly the same effort. 1) Upload custom firmware (you already updated to the latest linksys one - it takes the same ammount of time) 2) clicking the "on" button for VPN feature 3) type in the username and password and ip range for clients 4) Profit! /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
