I would like to provide a webbased vdi client service to my customers.
As internet bandwidth increases every year, a 100/200mbit line is no utopia anymore.

I know that iscsi doesn't work very well over wan so tunneling it would be a good idea i guess.

iSCSI is a TCP protocol; unless you have firewalls blocking it then you should use raw iSCSI rather than trying to tunnel it.

If firewalls are a problem then you could try running your iSCSI target on port 80 or port 443. If you need to get out through a web proxy then this will require support for HTTP proxy CONNECT in iPXE; contact vendor-support@ipxe.org if you want to fund this development.
