Just to throw something else ...   :-)
vtun really works well - as long as both client and server have
static IP's .
Do you have any idea what can be done if the client has a dynamic
IP ? Connecting from client to server always works well. But the
other way round my connection breaks after some time and cannot
be restablished.
