Please log in for more thread options I am a newbie to network stuff and I am planning on setting up a VPN between my broadband and my parents broadband connection to control there PC (XP) using VNC when they need assistance. Quiet rare but it will make life easier. The main use of each broadband connection would be to use the Internet. I am currently looking at 2 x Draytrek Vigor 2800 ADSL router to acheive this using a ADSL 512 kbps Down/128 kbps link at both ends with static IP addresses. Each site will have a maximum of two computers and a USB printer. I can see from the Vigor documentation that the VPNs support the following PPTP, IPSec Tunnel (main mode), IPSec Tunnel (aggressive mode), L2TP, L2TP over IPsec. I am thinking of using L2TP over IPsec as that seems the most secure. Here comes the confusion - usage of the routers for access not to the VPN. Can each site access the Internet as well from end point? (That is my parents the client VPN connection goes to the internet from there connection.) Can I have NATed addresses onto the Internet? Any good documentation around on this? Thanks Staurt | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Do your folks work for the Pentagon? Seriously, why not just a VNC solution with a password, and show them how to turn the port on and off when necessary? | ||||||||||||||||

Easier solution would be a 2800 at your parents house then set that up to allow you to client vpn into it from your house, this works fine using the inbuilt microsoft client and will save you the expense of one of the 2800s. Go to draytek.co.uk, there's good how tos there and also a forum you can join to get additional advice. simon | ||||||||||||||||
