[Spread-users] Tunnels

[Yair Amir]

Ok,

So that is doable: spread clients can connect to multiple
spread networks (because they can make multiple connections and in each
of them they specify the daemon address to connect with).

The only issue is encryption of the client-daemon connection (to the home
network from the office). What about a quick and dirty ssh forwarding?
