Hi all,
I have no possibility to try Starspeeder service, but I tried Netsystem
service (also it uses VPN and works very well under Linux) in a LAN: A
friend of mine uses it from Windows machines behind the LAN, and also it can
choose if use or not use the service, by creating a second routing table
with command "ip route....".
Users who want to use direct line don't use any proxy, while users who want
to go via Sat uses Linux Squid proxy or socks who can have a different
routing table.
Bye
Roberto Arcomano
