Well seems that if openvpn is successfully installed yeah. But that's a very complicated beast for installing the server and installing hte client (for windows users), rather. The problem is that you have to increase the security. The connected vpn clients are behind your network, which means one can do anything or if your key is lost on the net by negligence. On the other hand, putty and tunneling are bit less giving troubles, and a cool approache: tunneling just forward those ports you need and you can restrict them. VPN all is open.

I am sure that putty is possible, if you are capable of tunneling the IPX.
Or shall I use a third PC, where both machines A and B, use both tunnelnig to C to get to see each other ??

Is there some experts in Tunneling on the board?

I don't think that openVPN is much of a beast to setup, I use it in the corporate world at my company and what took the longest was generating the certificates for each client.

It sounds as if he has a linux machine setup behind his firewall that he is using for his SSH VPN now. If this is the case you instlal openVPN on the server and setup the configuration file. I do not know which distro he is using, however, on Debian it was as easy as apt-get install openvpn, then I copied the sample config file and modified it to my settings. enabling DHCP pass through and using bridged networking. Then I copied a bridge script I have added to the init.d directory. This took almost no time at all. I then generated the ca cert and kerver cert and keys 2048-bit (wanted to go 4096-bit but far too time consuming) I did cheat a little here, I have webmin and installed the openvpn webmin module then generated the client keys using that and password encrypted each one with a unique password. THen I distributed those with a default client config where they only had to change the name on the client cert and key file to suit their situation I also sent out the openvpn installer for windows. It took end user approx 5 minutes setup from install to configuration and connection.

The Webmin module makes it really easy to administer the whole thing too, because you can simply revoke an end user cert if they no longer should have access or if it is compromised.

Plus a nice feature of openVPN is that there is no need to have VPN passthrough as it runs over SSL and should work with any router for the client end.
