Can't help with your vpn search, but the Churchill reference is from his 
quote about democracy that went something like this: Democracy is the 
worst form of government, except for all the others."  Translation, it 
ain't great, but it's the best we've got. 

The article paraphrases and says "SSL is the worst way to build a VPN, 
except for all the others"  Translation: it ain't great, but it's the 
best we've got.  So, he thinks building a VPN using SSL is the -best- 
existing method.

kind regards,
