Welcome to IWETHEY!

New picking nits on ssh and vpn
explain the "functional" differences between vpn(ipsec) and ssh.
Both provide an encrpyted tunnel from the net to a secured host
Both are useless if one side of the tunnel is hacked
the only hackable difference is that I can do keyboard timing and traffic timing over the ssh tunnel
thanx,
bill

With a VPN your machine understands how to route general TCP/IP over the tunnel. With ssh while you can get any traffic to do that, it is not transparent to all applications.

But if you took an ssh tunnel, and then created a TCP/IP tunnel over it, you would have a working VPN.

Cheers,
Ben
