Yes, ssh is usually my choice for one-time tunnels, but I took the opportunity to setup a |
| 12 |
full-fledged VPN against this national server, just in case I needed anything else :) |

In any case, (quote form man ssh here) "Since an SSH-based setup entails a fair amount of overhead, |
| 15 |
it may be more suited to temporary setups, such as for wireless VPNs. More permanent VPNs are |
| 16 |
better provided by tools such as ipsecctl(8) and isakmpd(8).". |
