Linux VPN

[jay]

hey jesse,
jumped out of any perfectly good airplanes lately?

most people i know that run VPNs are using some kind of IPSEC
implementation.  i think some of the implementations listen
for connections from any host and then do authentication when
a connection is made.

i'd be more vague, but it's early and i'm tired.
