open vpn

[Kerry Hoath]

I'd also recommend looking at the howtos on
http://www.openvpn.net

There are options to allow you to replace the default gateway on your 
Windows box without loosing internet connectivity. alternately you could use 
squid on your server and work through a proxy but i'd guess you want all the 
connectivity you could get.
There is also a book on openvpn from www.paktpub.com but it costs money, as 
does the service from www.vpnout.com

If you follow the howto's completely and patiently you'll have what you want 
working in an hour or so.
I'd recommend a routed vpn, with static keys as they are easy to configure 
and under Windows use openvpn-gui from
http://www.openvpn.se makes it easier to control the service under Windows.
Regards, Kerry.
