[Techtalk] {SPAM 05.1} Re: Problem with tunneling SSH

[Michael Carson]

Autossh will keep trying, but openvpn might be a good suggestion too
(though I've had some weirdness getting to client machines from the network
they're vpned into).

I'd recommend one of the road warrior configuration scripts to make
installation a super breeze. Either Nyr's original:
https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install
Or AngryStan's:
