XDMCP and ssh
The linux forum was getting dusty so I thought I'd freshen it up a bit.
So, next August I'll be travelling to Japan for a month or so. I'm thinking it wouldn't be in my best interest to get on the internet unprotected.... so I figure I could set up a machine at home and configure it for XDMCP and ssh so that I can log into it from Japan and surf the internet through my local connection. I could tunnel my connection through my home machine too I suppose. This would cut down on the bandwidth usage. What are your thoughts? If I go this route I would want to use my WRT54GS for this. I'd rather not use a public proxy if possible. Thoughts, concerns?

If you can, arrange 4-5 days in HK with lots of money. I think you'll like it much better than Japan. |

I'm going for work so no chance of that.
 Edit: Anything special about privoxy or Winssl. Looks like it will do what I need which is to give me an encrypted connection into my home network and then back out my home network to the internet. I may even be able to run it on my WRT although I've got a Dell CpX with a flaky screen that will suit the purpose also.\ [X] Step 1 Warserver has been "re-porpoised" to Kamikaze 7.09 with webif. [X] Step 2 Set up DynDNS [ ] Step 3 Setup Privoxy

Your going to LOVE Japan. It was always one of my favorite places to goto for a client. I missed a flight out one time so I could stay over another day. The food there is GREAT as well as the people for the most part. I never had any issues with Internet over there and the few people that I know that still go over for consulting use their Internet just fine without any issues.

I looked at that but wasn't sure which way to go. I've got openvpn installed just not enabled (it can be enabled from the web interface).
TAP OpenVPNHowTo - OpenWrt TUN OpenVPNTunHowTo - OpenWrt Wasn't sure which one I should use. Sure VPN will give me access to my home network but will it proxy my internet surfing through it?

I need a proxy. I'm almost there. I think the router's firewall rules are blocking SSH from the wan. The web interface uses one config file and the router has another. I can't test it until I get home.

Well it looks like either my IPTables are wrong or it won't forward WAN 8080 to LAN 22
I set WAN 8080 to 22 and had our IT guy temporarily open 22 outbound and I was able to connect to my router. TinyProxy is running now and proxying. Now I'm working on getting srelay to forward #### to 22 to keep 22 closed on the WAN.

So XDMCP won't work through a SSH tunnel, now I know. So I set up OPENVPN. The webif interface on the router doesn't support OpenVPN server configs, now I know. So I run it manually. XDMCP is very slow under a WAN connection, particularly with Gnome as since there's so many more application that it has to run, now I know. So, now I'm going to set up VNC and hope that speeds things up but that's a desktop sharing app.
