@wfk I sure didn't like That Old Guy's spaghetti ssh tunnels back in the day. And he thought I was incredibly obnoxious what with my unit tests and IDE.

@grechaw heh. "ssh tunnels" and "back in the day" in one sentence sounds dissonant to my ears. Back in the day, this newfangled ssh thing didn't exist yet. :-)

@bjc @grechaw oh, nat, erm, well, about that... Proper NAT came later, indeed, with iptables, but I'm not entirely sure when exactly masquerading slipped into the ipfwadm code...

@grechaw @bjc you mean like the wireguard tunnel that's running on my "cloud servers" (formerly known as VMs)?
