Today I fumbled thru the install of Rayfish and Yggdrasil. Both are awesome, but Rayfish was so much easier to install and use.

Have you tried these yet?

Here's the Yggdrasil link:

Yggdrasil has Android, Windows, Linux, Apple installers.

Rayfish only works on desktop right now, but hopefully soon they will be able to get it on Android.

Been using Yggdrasil for quite a while at this point, both for encrypted service communication and also as unbreakable VPN links to various places where I don't want to have to mess about with NAT traversal.

It's been nice to be able to just drop it onto my router, add an ALFIS DNS entry, and have all my devices just work with Yggdrasil with no additional configuration.
