I tried this out on 4.7 kernels and it seemed to work OK. I can't tell 
about security, but the packets made it to where they are going.

My eventual use case, is to be able to reach a machine behind NAT by going 
though a fixed machine in another location. The machine behind NAT will 
keep a tunnel usable by occasionally pinging through the tunnel to make 
sure that NAT has state information allowing packets to make it back and 
that the fixed machine knows where to send packets.

This seems much easier to use than ipsec and should be faster than 
tunnelling over ssh or openvpn.
