Got an OpenVPN setup at home. Can't seem to SSH into my transformer tf101. Starting to think the Google product designers were too chicken shit to build in such a feature out of the box. But I know linux, and I'm betting I can get it.

What do you plan to do with your tablet over SSH?

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Transfer the keys and certificates needed to access the VPN. From a security standpoint, it's major fail to email that shit. I'd use a microSD card to transfer the files, but sneakernet is terribly 90's.

Simple, effective solutions to problems never go out of style.
