Hello Xoopsters!
I am networking a small office to include 3-4 printers on printer servers. They also will have a satellite office in a few months which they want to be able to connect to their main office via the internet and share files and print to their printers ect. I was thinking a VPN connection would be the best route. They do not want to buy a server to handle everything, so I was thinking of a VPN router from linksys? I have never set one up before, so I was wondering if anyone here has?
My question is, do I just need one VPN router at the main office, then setup the VPN router to accept connections (do you also tell the router what usernames and passwords are acceptable?) then setup a VPN connection on the remote site to dial their IP address of their broadband, effectively connecting the remote computer to the router and the resources networked at the main office. Is this how it works?
Does anyone have a better idea on how to connect the two?
