all, i confess to not being overly-concerned about security. at least that's what my security guys are always telling me. anyway, i've never used VPN software to connect to home or office from off-site. i've always used ssh/putty and the tunneling that they provide. 1. is this just semantics and i really am using a VPN? 2. anyone care to toss out pros and cons about using ssh/putty?
