With little help from pppd you can build a VPN connection without
worries using OpenSSH...
Check out this manual: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/ppp-ssh/

I myself use a simple bash script to establish the tunnel. And the
benefits over gre/ipnip tunnels are enormous.. You have a really
secured channel.. not some id encapsulated one... and you run the
traffic over TCP connection which allows you to run the tunnel behind
a NAT.

Hi,

I have read that OpenSSH now supports VPNs as OpenVPN does. Are there any
documents describing how to set up a VPN with OpenSSH?

Thanks.

Bye,
Werner.
