Hello, all. I was fascinated to see a reference to using NMAP in the
client scripts. It sounds like we have the opportunity to do some sort
of end point security check before allowing connections. That would be
a powerful alternative to some of the proprietary SSL solutions.


However, I can also see all sorts of shortcomings. For example, if we
check for open ports and the client is behind a NAT firewall which also
protects public servers on a DMZ, I would imagine we would show false
positives.

Why not just check both the outside of the tunnel and the inside, and then
compare the results?
