open VPN

[Raymond House]

Lots of good information there Victor, thanks.I have already gone with
Cranky's advise and will use 3rd party PIA and hamachi for my own network,
to bad about VPN unlimited, that sounds great but I'm already with PIA.
Thanks to all for good advise, it's appreciated.I definitely will look at
the link about deb packages, I always have trouble with that. Cheers.
