[Server-devel] Value of remote access to School Servers.

[James Cameron]

Great idea.  It would indeed simplify the establishment of remote
access for an XSCE in a small deployment.

Would I be right in interpreting this as a tunnel established from an
XSCE to your OpenVPN server, in a way that allows for remote access to
the XSCE?

Would the person accessing their XSCE remotely then establish another
tunnel to your OpenVPN server, or would your server do inbound
connection forwarding?

(I'm maintainer of PPTP on Linux, and use OpenVPN, and have been
recommending OpenVPN as a replacement for PPTP for several years.)
