VPN:

* Not a fail. Case in point, Wikipedia - if we had gone through the trouble of routing all traffic through gateway machine, and all gateway machine traffic through server, would now be stuck with a system without the ability to edit Wikipedia. Problem!
 
Arrangement:
* everyone connects through home router
* each individual uses OpenVPN as needed to connect to proxy server
 
Document how the network works using [[Kali]]
 
===Kali===
 
* Pick up where I left off with [[Kali]] notes
* Use [[Kali]] to document how the network works
* Revisit old instructions
* New instructions: dsniff and sqlmap
* Need to have a project focus. Prior experience was, everything was scattered, so just got taste of things, most did not work out.
