Works fine for me. I wonder: does this tunnel thing work even if you have a dynamic ip on the public side of your broadband modem / router? I my case, my FreeBSD gateway and firewall sits behind the broadband router, and have private ip's on both interaces (internal and external). Do I need a public ip on my gateway in order to use a tunnel? -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen
