I'm curious - my understanding of a VPN was that
it set up a network that all applications could
transparently communicate over.
Port forwarding appears not to be that, in
practice each application has to be reconfigured
to talk to the appropriate port, or, each port
has to be forwarded.
Am I missing something here? If there is an
easy SSH based strategy for VPNs, what is it?
