Howdy people,

I need to setup a VPN connection to the university's network. Now, there's a
chapter in the handbook about "VPN over IPsec" and there seems to be this
thing called OpenVPN in the ports collection. Which is the better way to go?
All I need is to obtain an IP address within the university's IP range
(because otherwise I can't use their outgoing STMP), that's all. So as
simple a solution as possible would be preferred.

Suggestions are welcome.

Alphons

is not very Christian.
