Hmm. Well, that stuff (to the extent I understand it) looks interesting
and useful, but I don't think it solves the problem I'm trying to solve.
What I want to do is like a "guerrilla VPN", to get around the fact that
the friendly and generally helpful network/operations people have lots
of more important things to do than set up & maintain a linux-friendly
VPN server. So instead, I want to exploit the fact that I can ssh out
through the firewall from work into my router/gateway at home, and
leverage the ability of ssh to do port forwarding back across the
connection.
If I can then find a tool that will (1) create a peer at a given
host:port, and that peer will act as a proxy X server, and then (2)
forward the X stuff to an X server at a given host:port, then I can
start that from home through the SSH tunnel back to work, and then
have X applications transparently operate from inside the firewall
out to my home box. I can do all that just fine using ssh itself,
by starting an sshd at work and then forwarding a port back to
that. But that's too slow.
