Sorry for the late reply to everyone, I was having a good long hard think |
30 |
about this. |
31 |
|
32 |
A full-blown tunnel is attractive, except for this thing at work called The |
33 |
Security Forum and it has powers that the TSA in the States have wet dreams |
34 |
over. If I was caught running an un-sanctioned into the corporate network, |
35 |
there would be carnage. |
36 |
|
37 |
Seeing as I am a founding member of said Forum, and it's most vocal member, |
38 |
and the person who brings 3 out of 4 cases before it so that users can |
39 |
understand how we do stuff, I *really* don't want to invoke the ire of my |
40 |
peers :-) |
41 |
|
42 |
So I've gone with plan B: use the official VPN, even though it sucks. Lucky |
43 |
I'm on Linux so "route del" undoes most of it's sillyness. |
44 |
|
45 |
Thanks anyway for all the responses. |
