| | Hi there Thanks for the info -- great stuff. Just a quickie Is it worth setting up a Home "Server" type computer to allow VPN inbound connections or is it simpler and easier to simply use RDP (Remote desktop connection). Does the VPN give any better security (or more importantly) perform better over a typical home ISP (download speeds can be pretty fast but upload speeds are usually pretty ****ty even from the best ISP's. cheers (and great tutorial) jimbo |

RDC - allows you to access the computer as if you're using it physically So it depends mainly on the purpose of your connection. As far as security is concerned, VPN connections offers a configurable security option depending on what your network supports when it creates a tunneled network which is more robust than that of an RDC connection though it connects using a 128 AES encryption which is more than adequate in securing the session(s) in progress. On connectivity, RDC offers an "experience" based option depending on the type of connection, that can be scaled down if you experience lags and such to improve responsiveness felt on the client connecting. As for VPN, you're limited to what your connection can support, though it gets all the available bandwidth it can get. I hope that the above helps you figure out what you'll need for your setup. Please feel free to shoot more questions bugging you. Cheers |

| | Hi there Thanks --that answered the main point. It's rare that I actually want to control the computer remotely -- but just want to use the applications / MySQL database etc etc. installed on it. The VPN route sems to offer much more security as well and probably is faster since unlike RDP doesn't have to send out loads of full screens over a slow network. (OT but I do wish ISP's would offer faster UPLOADS as well even in Iceland you can get Humungous download speeds (some are testing 50 Mb/s currently) but upload is still as slow as molasses. I'd take say 35 Mb/s download with 10 Mb/s upload instead of 50 Mb/s and 2 Mb/s upload but the user doesn't get any "configuration choice. In the UK speeds are very slow unless you are on a cable system -- when I use "the alternative sources" to get the 5057 build I logged remotely on via my Home ISP and then transferred the data via my Work's network. Took 2 Hours to complete the job - even with the 3.5GB file transfer from IS to UK instead of DAYS via standard UK ISP speed. Holland seems to have the best allround speed these days -- maybe apart from Russia most of the "Hacks" and "Leaks seem to originate fromn there. Must be that "Funny Smelling Tobacco" they have in Amsterdam. Cheeers jimbo |

| | I know what you mean about upload speeds. LOL Just these past few months, I've been contemplating on migrating to a different country just so I can get better bandwidth. <--- I know it's funny Thank you for the info. Cheers |
