[Planetlab-users] Could I use a Planetlab node as a VPN client?

[Manfred Georg]

Hi,

vpn is probably a little heavy handed for what you want.
You can probably get away with ssh tunnels just find.

man ssh

and look for -L

However, note that depending on what kind of network tests you are
performing this can easily destroy any significance.
