Heres my problem, i use skype to keep in contact with some very good friends in New Zealand practically every day. The shaping on adsl is killing it, so would this work?
I set up a vpn between the two win xp boxes using xp's build in vpn client/server. When i want to chat connect the vpn and then use skype which would now be routed on the vpn, thereby bypassing Telkom's shaping. Obviously this is only going to work if port 1723 tcp is unshaped.
If it is shaped can one set the vpn to use a different port?
Any ideas / help much appreciated
