open vpn

[James Homuth]

This might be slightly off-topic for the list, and if so feel free to reply
to me privately. Will having a VPN give you the opportunity to bypass
methods of encription/throttling introduced at the ISP level? Part of me
wants to say no, but I'm not altogether certain of it.

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.
