As I said, I use ZeroTier, which makes me       effectively a part of my home network. Static (private) IPv4 and IPv6       addressing and no need to worry about NAT timeouts or NAT itself. It "just       works". :) But I can see a lot of uses for Shell in a Box, because it uses       HTTPS.               TL> I've never tried to compile Husky/htick, so I can't comment on that        TL> one.               RM> Had nothing to do with our exchange.        RM> Just did not want to write another mail for that topic, and state that        RM> I did not have any issues with it´;)              Fair enough, but the idea of compiling it doesn't give me any cause for       concern. If I need to, I suspect I'll have no issues.                     ...
