Re: Setting up a VPN

Hello there,
Maybe if you say what is not working with the VPN, someone might be able to
help. My experience has been that difficulties usually stem from the router
not being correctly setup. The good news is it does work, which I hope is
reassuring. With a VPN the devil is in the detail. I havn't yet seen a
tutorial that covers all the bases, which is a shame because this is an
excellent way of using the internet as your own private WAN
