ssh and openvpn work well together. However I am doing most of the work |
| 49 |
using my own configs - gentoo tries to be too clever with its vpn |
| 50 |
networking and Ive never been able to get it to work |
| 51 |
reliably/acceptably. On some sites I have to use port 443 (https) to |
| 52 |
get through, and in extreme cases double wrap in ssl (using a mix of |
| 53 |
proxytunnel (windows host), stunnel and sslh) to disguise its a vpn but |
| 54 |
still separate it from regular https traffic on my firewall. You will |
| 55 |
need to figure out where the ssh is getting blocked/stripped out - is |
| 56 |
openvpn your endpoint or theirs? |
