You'll need to run PPP inside it.  I use the simple scripts at

	http://www.webweaving.org/vpn-tools/

One -BIG- problem with any type of tunnels over TCP (ssh is TCP) is that
any TCP connections inside that tunnel get mightlily confused when tere
is a packet drop/retry on the outer tunnel; as the inner tunnels come to
about the same conclusion at the same time. And you get lovely little
avelances and your pipes wadded up.

VPN via ssh ?

2004-02-28 Thread stan
I can connect to my home machines from work using runsocks ssh. Now it
seems to me that I ought to be able to build a full blown VPN tunnel using
this, right?

A little Googling suggest that one approach might be to use ppp over the
tunnel. Given that the 2 machines involved are both FreeBSD STABLE machines,
can anyone point me to some docs as to how to do this?

What I want to accomplish is full biderctional connectivity. That is I want to
be able to connect to my machines at home from work, and from home to the
machines at work.

Thanks for any help on this.
