You might consider using openvpn so that any tunnels are TCP over UDP rather than TCP over TCP as when using SSH.
Also, you could use the gmail/gdrive over fuse (with encryption as you see fit) for file sharing. One option I've thought about trying someday would be to use md raid1 with a dbd and the --write-mostly flag where dbd is on top of say a gmail fuse device--thus work gets synced remotely but you get near-local file access speed. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
