Oh, and OpenVPN is a pain in the ass. I'd even recomend Hamachi over setting that up.

This was a real good tutorial. VPN's are easy as hell to setup.

Too bad XP only supports 1 client, pretty useless if you ask me.

PPTP is trivial to crack.

heh, but think of the effort it would take to actually push the power button... (jk)should have clarified that it is complicated in a RELATIVE sense.

I'm able to set up a VPN server at home using the same method in the article. I can connect to it from the road and surf the Internet, but I can never access my shares.

This is what i found also. For some reason I cannot get to my shares. the IP address the vpn assigns me is a 169.245 address. anyone seen this?

No. Upon establishing a connection to my VPN from the road, I check whatismyip.com on my laptop and on my home machine (through VNC). I'm getting my home, public IP and I can surf the Internet, but I can't access my shares.

Using the Windows VPN Server, make sure you set it up on a different subnet. For example, if you're LAN is 192.168.1.x, make the VPN server reside at 192.168.2.x. Also make sure that you test with no firewalls. Open ports 1701 and 1723 on your router (TCP & UDP, just to be all open). Once you get it all tweaked out, open those same ports on your firewall, and you should be good to go. Peace.

Okay, this is weird. After making the above changes, I can access my shares, but not the Internet, through the VPN. Help? Anyone, Anyone?

I have also setup VPN at home using this article. I will recommend it to others.<a class="user" href="http://www.bandolinoshoes.us/">http://www.bandolinoshoes.us/</a>

I use Leaf, it is easier than anything and no need to configure your router.<a class="user" href="http://www.leafnetworks.net">http://www.leafnetworks.net</a>

It's based on Free BSDthough everything is configured through a very well done web interface so there actually isn't even a shell prompt. It took me all of 5 min to setup a PPTP vpn that you can connect to with Windows <a class="user" href="http://www.adidasshoess.com">http://www.adidasshoess.com</a>
