Thats fantastic news! Is there anything we as Linux users can do to make
this as easy to use and compatible as possible? Also, when do you guys
think it will be up and running? One more question, just for my
curiosity: why did you choose closed vs open source? Was it easier, or
did it just come with a support contract? Thanks! I look forward to
having (proper) VPN access instead of private tunneling! :P
