This little program makes it very easy to set up PPP-over-SSH-tunnels from a linux box to just about anywhere. And you don't even need root access to the other side of the tunnel to do it. All you need is a shell account where you can run slirp. Configuration is quite easy. Docs are in the file itself.

Installation:

Simply drop this file somewhere where you can run it, create
/etc/pvpnd.conf file according to instructions below. Run
pvnpnd as root to start VPNs.

Configuration:

All the configuration is normally done in the /etc/pvpnd.conf file each line is on the format "parameter: value", empty lines are ignored, and everything after a # is considered a comment. You can also send configuration options on the command line with the syntax "parameter=value". All configuration options given on the command line are considered global. A typical use for this would be to run 'pvnpnd debug=1' to find out why it's not working. If a 'host' parameter is present on the command line, the config file will not be read. For normal usage, pvpnd should be started without any parameters.
