Yes, ssh is usually my choice for one-time tunnels, but I took the opportunity to setup a
full-fledged VPN against this national server, just in case I needed anything else :)

In any case, (quote form man ssh here) "Since an SSH-based setup entails a fair amount of overhead,
it may be more suited to temporary setups, such as for wireless VPNs.  More permanent VPNs are
better provided by tools such as ipsecctl(8) and isakmpd(8).".
