[ale] HomeVPN

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

In my case, I'm not tunneling back to my house, but to the servers run by the vpn service.  My router is just an off the shelf netgear product.  I mainly just want to protect myself in open wifi hotspots and hotels.

Sincerely,

Ron

Sent from my Android Acer A500 tablet with bluetooth keyboard and K-9 Mail.
Please excuse my potential brevity.

(To whom it may concern.  My email address has changed.  Replying to former
messages prior to 03/31/12 with my personal address will go to the wrong
address.  Please send all personal correspondence to the new address.)

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new email messages very quickly.)
