Hey all,

I’m trying to learn a bit about VPN tunnels; I’ve used them briefly before, but I really have very little knowledge about them. I’m trying to connect an individual computer outside of my house to my home VPN router, using some tool like OpenVPN or something, I don’t know. Basically, I think this will work like having it in my own network; it’ll use a local IP, and be able to access all the machines in my home LAN.

Are there any guides to this? I’m not really interested in lots of security, or anything… basically, I just want to be in my home network, rather than the outside network. 😃

Thanks…
