Thanks again Andreas!
You really are a great help!

Another problem that has just arrisen is how to implement a vpn client
behind a nat.
I've tried looking through the documentation for this because I'm sure its a
common issue, but can't seem to find an actual explanation of how to set it
up.
My server is currently also behind NAT but that was easy, on the client side
you simply use the public IP as the address and the private subnet as the
subnet.
I would like to know, however, how to allow a client behind nat. Because
these clients are road warriors and because they are accessing the internet
through DSL-type connections that have dynamic ips and nat / port forwarding
built into the router i am getting totally stuck. This means very little
configurability - can forward ports, but not much else.
Does this mean I need to use the "tunnel through UDP" or whatever it was,
patch?
Does this affect EVERY connection? What if i want other connections to be
done normally, and only maybe 1 to be done tunnelled through UDP?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated thanks!!
Mark
