Clicked the link and it confuses the *hell* out of me. Maybe it does require the use of a computer.

Yes, it does. There's no way to run foreign programs like this directly on the Xbox. Even if you could, you'd lose it once you tried to run a game.

This is like the vtun linux boot disks at xboxgw.com; it's a program that creates a VPN over the internet, and it requires a Windows computer to run it.

No, there isn't.

There is other software available at xboxgw.com, but it basically consists of x86 Linux boot disks. However, I understand it is being considered for porting to OS X.
