[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] tun device for openvpn?

[From: Brad Clements]

The 770 targets consumers (hey, I'm one), who will be checking their email 
at home.

But, all my email is at the office, so to check it I need to use imap over 
openvpn.

Will the kernel have a tun or tap device so I can port openvpn?

Also will need openssl libs.

Openvpn uses a user-space application to pump packets, so I'll need a way 
to run a user-space app "in the background", plus a tool-tray like 
indicator/control and maybe a pop-up password dialog box.


Also, at the office, all wireless devices must run openvpn as well. So while 
the 770 is targetted at corporate, you know it will go there.. ;-)

We must come down from our heights, and leave our straight 
paths, for the byways and low places of life, if we would 
learn truths by strong contrasts; and in hovels, in forecastles, 
and among our own outcasts in foreign lands, see what has been 
wrought upon our fellow-creatures by accident, hardship, or vice.
