Re: tunnelling through 2 servers

Hello,

One can also setup an IP to be a type of gateway such as 127.0.0.2 (or even
the servers real IP). Then all traffic to that IP will be forwarded within
the tunnel to the server.

PS: Some older versions Microsoft RDP clients will not connect to any
172.0.0.0/8 address.

Regards,
