</div>Thanks, I understand the first two steps, and they sound good.<br>

</div>How is this last step achieved? There's much flexibility, so I'm<br>
curious. I imagine one of three methods:<br>
<br>
a. does the user first SSH into an account on the OpenVPN server and<br>
then SSH again to the XSCE, or;<br>
<br>
b. does the user SSH to a particular port on the OpenVPN server that<br>
is automatically forwarded to the XSCE, or;<br>
<br>
c. does the XSCE have a routable IP address, courtesy of the OpenVPN<br>
server, to which SSH is directed?<br>
