Will having a VPN give you the opportunity to bypass methods of encription/throttling introduced at the ISP level? Part of me wants to say no, but I'm not altogether certain of it. -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@braille.uwo.ca [mailto:speakup-bounces@braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Kerry Hoath Sent: May 4, 2009 3:34 PM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: Re: open vpn I'd also recommend looking at the howtos on http://www.openvpn.net There are options to allow you to replace the default gateway on your Windows box without loosing internet connectivity. alternately you could use squid on your server and work through a proxy but i'd guess you want all the connectivity you could get. There is also a book on openvpn from www.paktpub.com but it costs money, as does the service from www.vpnout.com If you follow the howto's completely and patiently you'll have what you want working in an hour or so. I'd recommend a routed vpn, with static keys as they are easy to configure and under Windows use openvpn-gui from http://www.openvpn.se makes it easier to control the service under Windows.
