Other Quick VPN question


New Member
I have an Intrepid running a sage server on my LAN that I'd like to access from work, which I gathered meant that it was time to reopen some material on setting up a VPN.

I haven't really gotten that far into it yet though I assume that ultimately I'm going to need PPTP, so for that it seems like there's a ton of info scattered all around about how to do it.

I was just wondering simply on the hardware side, do I want to set up a new separate box running I guess 8.04 server and have it in front of my router? Or behind my router and forward some ports to it? (Or should I go with no separate box and use the openvpn that ships with DD-WRT?)

I'm a bit paranoid about security, and a lot of the material on the forums about setting up a VPN doesn't mention what type of security measures to take.

Thanks a lot.
