True. But given that it seems to be a one man project... Well I'm sure
it *works*, but that's not the same as being secure. [Not that any sane
person is going to bother trying to hack my systems unless it's
sufficiently easy.]

I see. I hadn't followed it up. No, if the author of the code is the
author of the paper, I'd definitely go with IPSEC. :-)

Helpful housekeeping hints:
Check your feather pillows for holes
before putting them in the washing machine.

It appears the report was written by somebody other than the author. But
then, comments like "OpenVPN seems to be using SSL" make me suspicious.
As does the fact that SSL and TLS both run over TCP, yet OpenVPN seems
to be using UPD. That looks like a big enough deviation from the
standard that I'm left wondering how many design decisions have been
made with potential security implications.
It's not like OpenVPN just calls the OpenSSH crypto library to do its
bidding; it looks like a complete new implementation.

That sentence made me laugh. Of course, it's 3 AM here (almost 3:30), so
I'm a little sleepy, but can I just say THANK YOU? I *really* needed a
laugh.
Tough night, and this really helped.
Thank you.

No problem. There's no charge for this service. Please contact Phil Cook

Right now because I'm talking to you. 5 AM now.
Today's the 4th of July here, so I don't have to work today.
