Way OT, so you'll excuse me if I'm brief. Most of these have *nix specific info, but the concepts are still valid. For SSH: http://www.openssh.org/ (THE open source SSH solution) http://ssh.com/products/tectia/server/ (Commercial SSH that used to be SSH Secure Shell) VPN: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/VPN-HOWTO/theory.html http://computer.howstuffworks.com/vpn.htm > OTOH, a question of > terminology: setting a SSH tunnel is the same as setting up a VPN tunnel? Generally not. SSH tunneling is generally used for a single app, where VPN is used for all apps. Note that if one really wanted to, you can tunnel PPP over SSH making a sort of "poor mans" VPN. > How does VPN work? It creates a transparent "tunnel" that makes your machine look and act like it is on the network at the other end of the tunnel. > It seems that there're two kinds of VPN's.

Yes, one connects a machine to a remote network (client to server) and the other connects two whole networks together, creating one logical network (gateway to gateway). -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
