[GLLUG] VPN

[Sean Heiney]

Depending on the bandwidth the application uses, Terminal Services or
RDC would be a good, if not better, option.

Oh wise persons on the mount,

A friend of mine runs a small biz out of his home.  There are 4 full
time 
employees, I think.  He's very mobile, and uses his laptop frequently
from 
other locations with high-speed access.  He wants to be able to run a 
certain app that you have to connect to a server for.  I believe this
calls 
for VPN, no?  (They are running all Windows PCs).

I'm trying to hash-out our options.  I know one is to setup a Linux
server 
and setup SWAN or whatever VPN.  I want to know what my other options
are 
as well before I make a pitch.

Are there wireless/router/switches like boxes available with VPN? (Think

Linksys, Dlink, etc.).  It seems this would be a popular feature, and
would 
be a lot more sensible in regards to future maintenance than setting up
a 
whole server just for VPN.

Thanks, oh wise persons,
