... ok, text mode only for Leonard Isham.

We're not on the same provider. The providers simply peers at the same
peering point here in munich: http://www.inxs.de/. We use different
providers, such as arcor, mnet, alice and something like that. Generaly
in germany only the provider telekom boycotts the public peering points
like DE-CIX(frankfurt) or INXS(munich), because they have their own
national network, with which they want to make money. But nobody of us
uses this bad monopolist. Nearly any other provider than telekom and its
resellers uses the public peering points, so this great solution works.
Simply look a litle bit on the peerings of your provider, to get a
perfect place for your OpenVPN Server.
