I agree with all that IPSec is porbably the best for VPN. But for the record, port forwarding is not required for VPN over ssh (or lsh).

I am not a developer (also the fact that I am in the US would taint the project anyway) but linking ppp in with lsh would be cool. ;) -- William Stuart ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) "...and that's why I suggest putting your IP router in a suppository configuration" --Dilbert 1/8/1999 > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On > Behalf Of J.H.M.
