I'm not a programmer, but it seems I must query this... We have a program that is a re-write of dhis.org dhid application. We intend it to be used to create the infrastructure for what will become a public accessible VPN. The daemon that sits on the client side, sends out udp packets to the server to let it know what the dynamic IP of the box is so that the IP will appear visible to the rest of the www. Our problem is that for some reason on 4.0 no upd packets get sent out at all. Right now our client runs on all Linuxes, and OpenBSD. I have aspirations for all the BSDs to be supported by us. We need some help. We haven't decided what we're going to license this thing under. It's not a child of the dhid.org daemon; it's a total re-write. But we are going to choose either GPL or BSD no doubt. If you are interested in helping, please let me know directly and I will shoot you the URL of the client source. Thanks a lot everyone. Our project is for a good cause. We trying to make it easy for average people to have secure home networks. (As if average people wanted that), but we believe at some point in the near future average people will. For now, geeky people will and that good enough for us...
