I heartily suggest everyone tries sshuttle, which uses ssh
port-forwarding and iptables/ipfw NAT magic as a replacement for
packet-encapsulating VPN solutions. Put simply, you can have full
transparent VPN connectivity with *any* SSH connection, as long as the
server you're connecting to supports ssh and python (and what
doesn't?).
