Hi. I have done some messing about today & managed to route over an ssh tunnel from my n900 back to my home XP box using the dynamic flag. So, while connected over GPRS I checked my IP on a website & it was that of the public IP of my home router/ISP.

I did this because I would ultimately like to use rDesktop on the n900 for remote support of a client's Windows servers. They are located in a telco switch room, behind a nasty firewall. My (static) home IP is allowed through the f/w but obviously my n900 has a dynamic IP (on Vodafone UK). So, I can currently rDesktop into the clients servers from my home PC and also from my n900 whilst on home wifi. I can't currently connect over 3G on the n900 while out & about.

I think that if I had tsocks installed, I could start an ssh tunnel from n900 to my home LAN and then run rDesktop via tsocks - such that the n900 connects to my client's Windows Server using my home static IP, so it gets through the Telco firewall?

Not sure if that is feasible at all (any advice appeciated) but meantime just wondered wether the tsocks port by Qole is something that will at some stage be made publically available via the maemo repo's?
