I sure as hell don't want either of the people who've posted to this thread
as clients -- most particularly not _you_.  Not worth the hassle of
dealing with officious, passive-agressive idiots.  Not at any billing
rate.

I most certainly have no VPN suggestions to offer _you_.  

For my own personal needs, I find ssh does everything worth doing.
Usually, either of the two customary meanings of the term "VPN" (which I
won't detail here, because I don't have the time to waste on you)
attempt to solve dumb-ass problems like "How do I make two
IP-encapsulated SMB networks mutually browseable?"  Not interested in
doing that, thanks:  Just give me ssh/scp.
