no, please don't use this.

see http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut00.../linux_vpn.txt

"While googling for more CIPE info, I found another Linux
encrypted tunnel package, vtun. Ugh, this makes CIPE look
like a paragon of good crypto design in comparison. Although
the format is undocumented, from a quick look at the source
code it appears that vtun uses Blowfish in ECB mode with
no integrity protection, and as for CIPE no protection
against message insertion or deletion, replay attacks, etc
etc. Eeek!
