Maddler's Rants 'n' Raves

I was at office today and needed to set up a quick and dirti SSH VPN so the attached script came out.
It still needs some work to be done (checks, status management, start & stop, etc.) but it works! :)
Well, actually it wasn't meant to be used on N800. I was using it on my laptop, but after a quick test I found it's working pretty well. So, why not use it?!

Basically you only need to change values for the variables:

REMOTE_USER="maddler"
REMOTE_ADDRESS="192.168.1.199"
VPN_IP_LOCAL="10.0.0.1"
VPN_IP_REMOTE="10.0.0.2"

Have fun!

I really want to thank jlbrd (proudly hosting his blog on Maemo People) for his port of Claws-Mail. Yes, it still needs improvements and fixes here and there but, I think, it clearly shows the power of Maemo platform. Being able to use the same mail client on my laptop and desktop made me felt comfortable already but now, being also able to use Claws-Mail on N800 as well, it's even better. Claws-Mail is one of the best mail client I've ever tried and it remains usable enough even on N800. Again a *big* thank you to jlbrd for the port and to Claws-Mail's developers for such a great job!
