The other machine (also FreeBSD, call it HOME), is on a dynamic IP, but with the dns name served thru Zoneedit.com - so anytime the IP changes, there's maybe an hour or two of lag time while the auto update scripts get the dns back on track. What I want to do is initiate a VPN connection from WORK to HOME, and here's where I show my VPN ignorance, connect thru that VPN connection from HOME to WORK. Basically I want to work from home on a secure connection rather than just getting my work machine to pop a terminal up on the home display over an insecure connection. I suspect this won't work this way, but I figure what the hell. The worst that can happen is someone tells me I'm a dope and it don't work that way. So will it, or not?
