[ale] HomeVPN

In my case, I'm not tunneling back to my house, but to the servers run by the vpn service.  My router is just an off the shelf netgear product.  I mainly just want to protect myself in open wifi hotspots and hotels.

Sincerely,

Ron

Please excuse my potential brevity.

(To whom it may concern.  My email address has changed.  Replying to former
messages prior to 03/31/12 with my personal address will go to the wrong
address.  Please send all personal correspondence to the new address.)

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new email messages very quickly.)
