[ale] VPN through NAT firewall

[Adrin]

Only problem I have ever had with port forwarding VPN traffic through a
linksys router, even with some VPN routers.  There can only be a max of
two tunnels up at one time.  The third person is denied. 

There are also a few other opensource firewalls that run on desktop
hardware that you otherwise wouldn't use. (IPCOP and Pfsense).
