I do agree about running a tunnel.  I've run tunnels on and off since around
2000, when it was _much_ harder to do so, as it required compiling Linux
kernels by hand, experimental patches from Microsoft for Windows 2000, and some
odd configuration to work around various bugs in those early implementations
(like the default route not working on Linux!).
