[Openvpn-users] Use at hotels



Hi,

	Trying to find a solution for problems I'm having at Hotels, and I
was told to check with OpenVPN.

	When I go to hotels, I take and Asante Internet Router with me (Has 
a "firewall" built in), a Netgear WAP, and some other stuff.  I let the 
Asante DHCP, and I DHCP behind the Asante.

	For some reason, I always seem to have problems with their DNS
servers, and sometimes with their web proxies. I've gotten sick of it, so
I was looking for a something I could do to basically create a tunnel between
my laptop and my private server on the public internet, and default route ALL
traffic through that tunnel. I need to be able to have something that will
deal with being behind a NAT (And I don't know what kind each time, last time
the device identified itself as a Linux system) and have its IP change.

	Is this something I can do with OpenVPN? Would the HowTo be just it?
I was concerned since they started talking firewall rules...But then the
first "additional option" says that it doesn't need the rules if they can
ping themselves... But is that what I can do being behind someone elses
firewall and NAT'd?  Is there some other option that might work better instead
of --remote?  Or am I just SOL because of the situation?

	Any hints/comments/etc welcome!

			Thanks, Tuc/TTSG Internet Services, Inc.
