start > run > \\ipaddress > OK

the ip address of the computer you're connected to should show up in the connection details tab

[vicangula]

are you guys teaching each other or what ?

[WarwulfX]

This only sets up a PPTP connection. PPTP is a dead protocol as both LEAP and MSCHAMPv2 are insecure (via programs such as Asleap). I believe there is a way to force TLS-EAP usage, but I don't remember off-hand how.

You'd probably be better off teaching users how to set up OpenVPN for your secure tunnel.

there is no description how to port forwarding ? is that important because i could not connect i dont know that is wrong

Type on google 'VpnAccounts' and click on the first website. It's so Cheap + Fast.

It supports:

PPTP

L2TP

SSTP

OpenVPN

I have been using it for the past 2 weeks. It works perfectly (better than all the VPN i ever used)

You can also do some pretty cool things as well, for example you can access all of your shared iTunes music and uhhh...

YEAH AND IF YOUVE GOT AN AIRPORT EXPRESS~!!

... then you can uhhh login to your network and blast your uhhhh....

OH YEAH YOUR ROOMMATE~!!

I got conntection with VPN server and try to open file of the server with start->run>\\ipadd\ok but it didn't work.

I can see acrivity sent 702,165 bytes and received 27,064,087 .

How can I open the server's folder?

Doesn't work for me. It connects, but isn't actually connected. It shows ipv4 not connected and isn't sending any packets back and forth.

@ecotts You CAN buy certs to increasing trust of you. But you don´t need it if you don´t care about users.

Hey, I was considering buying a Billion BiPAC 7402NX VPN wireless router to set up a a tunnel to access my network from my Mac or Windows 7 laptop, I'm still trying to work out how the encryption works.

The router supports embedded IPSec VPN (Virtual Private Network) protocols, allowing users to establish encrypted private connections of up to 16 simultaneous tunnels over the Internet with a built-in DES / 3DES VPN accelerator.

Do I have to buy encryption like a SSL cert, or is it free?
