[00:58] <ShawnR> would it be easier to try and use ssh for vpn, or better just to use something like openvpn?
[00:58] <ShawnR> i really just want to use it to connect to smb shares from home when i'm on the road with my laptop
[01:38] <mhall119> ssh is way easier
[01:42] <ShawnR> that is what i though
[01:42] <ShawnR> does it work with udp or just tcp do ya know?
[01:43] <ShawnR> btw. 1 handed typing is hard, but waking the baby is not worth a free 2nd hand
[01:52] <mhall119> you can forward udp over ssh, I think
[01:56] <ShawnR> k... actually, forget that, i forgot i started using nfs on this laptop... that might be easier than smb anyways
[01:58] <mhall119> sshfs is better than both
[01:58] <mhall119> if you just need to share between 2 computers
[01:59] <ShawnR> hmm
[02:00] <ShawnR> it is mainly for my ubuntu laptop when i'm away from home
[02:00] <ShawnR> sshfs sounds about right up the alley, i'll take a look
[02:01] <ShawnR> thing is, i have mounted folders inside of pictures pointing to my nfs shares... i'd like for that to stay seemless, so that is why i figured a vpn/sshtunnel would be best
[02:03] <mhall119> hmmm
[02:06] <ShawnR> so i wanna keep the same mountpoint and basically not disturb how things are "as is now" but be able to tunnel the nfs share via ssh while on the road....
[02:07] <ShawnR> for everything else, i just ssh into my server and use weechat in terminal, so i don't care about much else, just nfs
[02:07] <ShawnR> although, i wouldn't mind fwding all traffic just to keep it encrypted when at public wifi spots
[02:08] <mhall119> yeah, it's good to use an ssh tunnel to a trusted location as a SOCKS5 proxy when on open wifi
[02:08] <mhall119> I do that all the time
[02:37] <ShawnR> yeah, that is why i love gmail b/c i make sure to use the secure ports, but still even for browsing, rather be secure
[02:41] <ShawnR> mhall119: ever use the gnome ssh tunnel manager?
[02:50] <mhall119> ShawnR: nope, just the command line
[07:35] <ShawnR> for the life of me, i can't get this ssh proxy working, I know i've done it before from my android phone
[14:38] <reya276> Morning Everyone
[20:23] <maxolase1squad> exchange + maxolase1squad = sad
[20:33] <mhall119> exchange + anything = sad

[20:45] <maxolase1squad> Unfortunately, exchange makes some people happy.
