RE: [coldsync-hackers] VPN Sync / Secure Sync

[Tim Meals <tim at codeknox dot com>]

You could either tunnel the Coldsync port through ssh or set up a PPTP
or even IPSEC VPN.  The ssh approach is easiest -- just run ssh
-L<localport>:localhost:<remoteport> <remotehost>, replacing the
bracketed variables with your own values.  This will create a port on
your local machine that gets redirected to the remote machine's remote
port.  I've done it with CVS before to a home CVS repository and it
works fine.  You'll have to either daemonize Coldsync or run it in the
opened ssh session to receive the traffic.
