Hi Pere,
That tunnel should have been there for some time now (realistically 
since you installed everything). It's provided by the grase-conf-openvpn 
package and provides a VPN back to grasehotspot.net. This VPN can be 
used for remote support requests.
You are welcome to disable it, but it allows me to provide you with 
basic remote support if you have a problem, and also assist with 
statistics [1] to how many installs are active. I released an update to 
grase-dnsmasq and grase-conf-openvpn recently, the vpn update was to 
update the key names for 2012 so that machines that aren't doing updates 
can drop off the list of active installs.

Tim


[1] Suggestions welcome for other statistic gathering methods
