Hi Mark:

I do not know how to use SSH fully.

I have only been using it in via terminal mode. It works great both internally and externally to the network. Both its client and server parts are easy to install and subsequently access. OpenSSH: http://www.openssh.com 

Check out the following code and connection string samples:

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/access-your-mysql-server-remotely-over-ssh  
...and...
http://sshnet.codeplex.com

If you find a better resource don't hesitate to post it. 

Jim

Hello Jim

Do you have any specific links to learn how yo use openssh on windows to
establish a VPN.

I can Google myself but just asking in case you have 'the perfect document'.
