VoIP traffic since VoIP is blocked in the country concerned. It appears that
the ISP is targeting OpenVPN and OpenSwan and blocking them so I want to try
something different.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>My solution based on OpenVPN worked great until it
got blocked by the ISP about a week ago. It was using an OpenVPN server hosted
in a US Datacenter and the VPN clients were simply routers with third party Linux
firmware with the OpenVPN client embedded in the firmware.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
