VPN/SSH Tunneling software
jlogic77:
Ugh, passphrase in plaintext in a batch file? Baaad bad. You should use pageant and pubkey auth instead. Btw, MyEnTunnel is okay handy for managing SSH tunnels.

Really think it's that bad on my laptop? Just use it to connect to my svn server.
jlogic77:
eh probably right. can't be too careful. I'll look to change it to a prompt for pwd
tinjaw:
You can use a private key and set your SSHD to only accept keys as login. Then you need not worry about somebody getting your password. You just need to keep your password to your private key a secret. And, if you store your key on a usb stick, then you keep the key separate from the laptop. This way nobody ever has both. And your key is passPHRASE (hint hint) protected, so even if you lose the usb stick, your key is protected long enough to give you time to notice and generate a new one.

...and combined with putty's pageant, you only need to provide passphrase once per boot, so it's not too much of a hassle :)

You can also check out the integrated BarracudaDrive HTTPS tunnel server plugin and the 3 HTTPS tunnel clients: GetMyLAN, BdProxy, and HTTPS tunnel. The GetMyLAN client is similar to SSL VPN.
