Which is, I think, essentially how the m0n0 handles the VPN as is. 
Ideally I don't want the IPcop to even be noticeable... transparent. I 
quickly setup a 2 LAN test environment with a squid box on one lan, and 
redirected traffic. It works ok. Some lag between interfaces, but I am 
blaming that on the poor equipment (namely realtek chipsets). Too many 
configuration changes needed though. At any rate, this is not 
accomplishing any more than putting in a pfsense box instead and using 
the squid package. So, as it stands, I am doing that, but it does not 
cache the update packages as I hoped to accomplish with the IPcop 
install, but I am already noticing a significant improvement in the 
overall bandwidth consumption. I was hoping for a 30% improvement within 
a week, and I have already seen 20% in the first two days. Back to the 
drawing board I guess. I may toss in an ipcop box this weekend on the 
vpn, just to see what happens. Not many users on, so if the tunnels go 
down, I won't have a target on my back.
