Lisa.... I d/l vpn-as  in about 2 minutes. Now I am d/l an appliance; the OpenVPN Access Server Virtual Appliance. It is going to tak half an hour. Do I need this? I realize that by the time I get a reply it will be d/l but still, do I need this? The d/l is a zip file so I am thinking this is a windows program. What gives?

Install an OpenVPNAS (Access Server).  It's quite a lot easier and WAY safer than ssh, plus most shops don't packet filter for VPN, but they do for ssh 22.

OpenVPNAS will automatically allow you to download your clients configurations after you login from any system and allows 2 licenses for free (2 connections).
It's very easy to install, doing all the bridging and iptables for you.  All you do is connect the web interface and download your client and connect.  OpenVPN clients are available for all computers and work flawlessly. 

For those of you who need more than 2 connections at any time, you can get 10 lifetime licenses for $50.00. 

This IS the s-hexy-ist solution around.

Here's the instructions:

Be sure you open the VPN ports on your firewall and on your local box per the instructions.

How does one access their home network from a remote location? What I want to do is backup my laptops hard drive to my desktops hard drive with fsarchiver. I know..... by the time I get a reply I will be home and will have accessed my home network but I might need to do this for some other reason.
