Text User Interface / command line.

Hm. Nice way to go.

Some years back I was using OpenVPN for a while, so got a little
experience with TAP back then.

This sounds like a great idea! SAMBA's brittleness in configuration
(due to my dunceness) when trying to make it work with XP, W7 or now
it would be W10 in the VM, has just never been a comfortable easy
thing, for me.

Years ago I even ran cygwin sshd from memory - but I'm certain
there's cygwin ssh client, so I could use that even from the Windows
side. Thank you very much for the reminder :)
