Came across this whilst looking for some SSH stuff and realized this could be used to either securely transmit HECnet data between two hosts or enable a host with a dynamic IP to run the bridge/MULTINET UDP thing:
http://24.97.150.195/nstwiki/index.php/Tunnelling_UDP_Traffic_Through_An_SS…
Basically, they use a combination of SSH port forwarding (which is TCP only) and nc to create a secure UDP tunnel between two sites. Setting this up would be trivial on a standard Unix box and if we use public key authentication we don't even need to store passwords anywhere. Also, we would of course benefit from the authentication and cryptographic features that SSH brings to the table.
The main disadvantage I can see is that SSH runs over TCP so any dropped packets might cause more delays than using straight UDP.

Yes, Urho Kekkonen ;) It's a joke from the past.
You got some extra letters, pretty close.

Maybe I should clarify. I can talk with ZAPHOD (for instance), but it's not through my bridge program. I have connection through GORVAX (next hop).
But maybe Chrissie just isn't running the bridge?

You do know that in neither Multinet nor Johnny's bridge program there's
nothing to automatically re-connect when an IP address changes?? It takes
manual intervention on the part of the operator of the other end of your
link.
hence this email .... ;-)
