I have uncapped @ my office, and am getting adsl at home.

I want to setup VPN from home to my office and route ALL traffic through my office connection.

Any one done this before?
 
Too much hassle.
Setup a proxy server instead, a good on that supports SOCKS5 and FTP as well as HTTP. Be sure to use bizzare port numbers like 32961 for HTTP, so that the average port scanner will not find it before it's kicked off. If the proxy server supports authentication, then use that.
Then, open up the office routing, punch a hole through the office firewall to enable the proxy server to be seen from the internet using port forwarding.
 
good idea...

care to recommend a proxy server for win2008 server 64bit
 
i've got 4mb uncapped @ office, and only 384k at home - so its no biggie
 
Please post the configuration details, IP address and username/password of the proxy once it is done so we can all check that you haven't made a mistake :D
 
Remember

/sarcasm ;)

Its illegal to run a proxy server in SA that has a password without having it inspected by som1 from ICASAPUN, Luckely I am here for you... all I need is username + password details...

While i agree a proxy may be easier to setup, your idea of a vpn certainly is also easy to setup and has some advantages over a proxy. I have this setup and it works well.

Basically what i did was use an old P3 box that had been "retired" and setup smoothwall on it. I then installed openvpn server on the smoothie box and openvpn clients on my windows machines. Even as a total smoothie/ linux noob i guess i had it up and running in under 2hrs.

If you go this route and need some help pm me.

cheers
 
i think the proxy route is easier as I want to give access to my dad who is not computer literate :)
