Thanks for the replies. I have just talked to the customer, and they will be implementing IPSec shortly, so ssh tunnelling won't be needed :). I didn't realise openVPN had a windows client, that could have been an option. I am not a fan of pptp, so that would only be a last resort. The main reason I wanted SSH Tunnelling, is the server is already there, no installation needed on the server and they already use putty.
