Well, from here, I have no path east, unless I can manage a mast 
height greater than 7 or 8 metres, because the freeway really 
disrupts wifi signals.  A few years ago, I did some tests for 
work.  From 1km away, but across the freeway, we setup a wifi link 
back to here.  We had signal levels around the -68dBm level, if I 
recall, quite a solid signal, but we could not get a viable link 
up.  My theory is the passing traffic disrupted the signal with 
constantly changing reflections.  Links more than 1km to the south 
will have similar issues with both railway and freeway.  Unless 
someone has a good link over local obstructions, we'll be an island 
without VPN connectivity.

Sounds good. :)  I tend to use OpenVPN here for VPN work. :)
