Static IP isn&#39;t necessary for the &quot;client&quot;/LAN router with some VPN protocols.  I have a &quot;portable&quot; 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&#39;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 &quot;owner&quot;.<br clear="all">

</div>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.<br>
<br>
Also a client certificate can be created guaranteeing identities of clients.<br>
<br>
I am more in favor of this than open VPN.  It is also well documented.<br>
<br>
Also gre is less processor intense than openvpn.<br>
<br>
A test would of course be in order but seems simple enough.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
