Re: VPN over wireless

....

The RSA key is for authentication, not authorization. That's a nice
feature to insure that nobody has spoofed or stolen your connection,
but is not necessary for the basic operation. All VPN clients can use
something local to provide authentication, such as the MAC address, IP
address, machine serial numbers, or X.509 certificate?


Do WEP/WPA/WPA2 encrypt each packet? - so that if you were to sniff the rf as it were you would not be able to see data in the raw; over and above any authenification etc. - without the key or a hack.
In that case, without using external (server & client VPN) software a wifi link is probably more secure than then wired. [Now to just make it work reliably ...]

Says the one on wired lan with the wifi currently switched off..
