No VPN at home for now

http://www.craigmayhew.com/blog/tag/vpn/

This essentially means that I will have no VPN at the base. One things that I have learned though is ssh tunnelling. It's really neat. The following allows me to open up the web interface for my router at home, from the browser at any location on hte net.


ssh -g -vv -L 8000:192.168.1.254:80 acidhome

So after that I just type localhost:8000, into my browser and it's just as if I was sitting at home, crossed-legged on the sofa. Heck, just for the sake of it I changed configs and ran a telnet session.

Thanks Alan!
