Static IP isn't necessary for the "client"/LAN router with some VPN
protocols. I have a "portable" LAN /27 that I just plug in and turn on
using whatever local access I can get (wired or wireless) using L2TP.
Especially for Emcomm you wouldn't want the LANs tied to a specific or even
static public IP. Certs are nice, but would be burdensome, if you
suspect a set of credentials are compromised, delete them and reissue to
the designated "owner".

I agree, anyone who is serious about tunneling would have a static ip
making gre tunneling a viable and reliable option. Almost every os can do
it and it is very hinternet (hsmm) friendly.
Also a client certificate can be created guaranteeing identities of
clients.
I am more in favor of this than open VPN. It is also well documented.
Also gre is less processor intense than openvpn.
A test would of course be in order but seems simple enough.
Anyone experiment with the 1 watt cards on 430mhz from xagyl or others
that are basically wifi on 70cm? Be interested in what legal and
regulatory ramifications are for using for a non fast scan tv operation.
Before I buy them for testing of course.
