summary: OpenSSH-compatible tun VPN support
class: wish: This is a request for an enhancement.
difficulty: taxing: Needs external things we don't have (standards, users etc)
priority: never: We don't ever intend to fix this.

OpenSSH has a crude VPN system based on sending raw IP packets over an SSH channel. We're unlikely to implement this in PuTTY because:

The protocol appears to have no documentation other than the OpenSSH source code.
From what we've been able to work out of the protocol from the sources, it's ugly and depends on the boundaries between network packets being represented by boundaries between SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_DATA messages.
