Indeed I never thought about this!! Great idea!

Btw in what way would monowall be configured in a scenario like this?
WLAN clients should be able to access the internet, but from my
(wlan-connected) laptop I would also like to be able to access my home
network (but other potential users of the AP should not). Can I restrict
access to the AP? (Sorry, I am new to wlan - but I suppose that is what
PPTP is there for?) Will the traffic between wlan clients and monowall
be encrypted (and if so, is this done using WEP or what else; is it
secure)?

cheers,
