For those of you playing along at home, the actual requirement to set up a VPN is merely that they know somebody who has control of a box outside the campus (or even know where to find a tunnel broker). And Alain is probably quite correct that even that lower standard will stop 80% and be sufficient for his needs. But you need to remember the difference, in case you need *better* than 80%, and your users are either more clued or they know more clued people.....
