If they keep going they can make another OpenVPN (Score 1)

It's nice to see OpenSSH following in the footsteps of OpenVPN. They are using the TUN interface and the OpenSSL library, just like OpenVPN starting doing three years ago. I think this is a cool addition and will be fun to play with, but if you are thinking of using it to build a serious VPN, there are a lot better, more mature VPN products out there that have robust feature sets built on top of this kind of tunneling, like OpenVPN. Oh, and OpenVPN runs TCP-over-UDP, unless you really want TCP-over-TCP, in which case it can do that too.
