Now it seems to me that I ought to be able to build a full blown VPN tunnel using this, right? A little Googling suggest that one approach might be to use ppp over the tunnel. Given that the 2 machines involved are both FreeBSD STABLE machines, can anyone point me to some docs as to how to do this? What I want to accomplish is full biderctional connectivity. That is I want to be able to connect to my machines at home from work, and from home to the machines at work. Thanks for any help on this. -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin
