New Seeing as how a slew of companies sell routers . .
. . specifically for that purpose, particularly Cisco and Sonic Wall, I don't think I've been mislead in purchasing "VPN routers". With hardware VPN firewall routers the encryption overhead is handled by specialized chips, not by the PC's CPU - much more efficient.

Window comes with VPN software using IPSec that allows connection to hardware VPN devices remotely, which is particularly valuable for mobile users, but for a stationary site it's a lot more efficient to let the hardware do it through a dedicated router-to-router tunnel.

I just haven't done this before so I'm not real familiar with the fine details of making it work.

New And, yes...
If they say they are connected *AND* you have connectivity on both sides... you are good to go.

No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp|source]

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
