[pptp-server] Bypassing the firewall

[Sexy Boy]

Yes, that is what i am currently using for months : SSH on port 110 and it
works fine.

My first post was more a challenge for me than really use this VPN (if it
can be possible to make it :-))

Thanks Neale,
Francois.

Indeed they would be.  The words "responsibility" and "liability" come to
mind here ;-)

[...]

Depending on just what you re trying to achieve, had you considered having
sshd listen on say port 443 on the Linux machine and using a Win32 SSH
client (e.g. TeraTerm+SSH, Putty)?  If that solves your problems it might
be both a whole lot simpler and open less opportunities for "other things"
to happen..

HTH,
Neale.

I don't think port redirection will help you with GRE.
