[conspire] another 'survey' - home VPN server

[Ehud Kaldor]

i am playing with a virtual network appliance, specifically Zentyal server,
running as VM on VirtualBox.
http://www.zentyal.org/downloads/
((which is using openVPN as its VPN module).

if anyone know this, especially bad stuff - let me know...
