I want to set up my home network so that I can remote in from my laptop wherever I happen to be. Simple so far, but the router I have at home (Linksys) is limited to letting me remote through a configured port to a specific pc in the LAN. Obviously the internal PC is then responsible for security. In principle, anyone can connect to my router from the outside and attack the pc all day. Ideally what I'd like to do is configure a router/firewall to allow a secured vpn or ssl connection to my LAN. In other words, I want a router that will provide some security requirements before it even passes the connection on. I know next to nothing about this whole subset of networking, so I'm just trying to get an indication of how to begin, what's possible, etc. Any info to get me started would be appreciated.
