I'm scared to fork out the monthly costs for a VPN solution cause you never know when the provider closes down, so i found this hardware solution on the net, anyone knowing about this product or smethign similar please advise.
I'm willing to fork out the R6000 and live with 3gig cap but all this technical details makes my head hurt
----------------------------------------
Using a Snapgear 530 or 550 router you can easily create a VPN using dynamic IP's by making use of www.tzo.com DNS service.
The DNS facilities are already built into the router and everything gets basically done for you.
It updates everything for you and aparently it works very nice
Local supplier is www.galix.com and although pricey, you can get it at half the price in the states.

Specifications
VPN Most VPN Routers offer the standard IPSec VPN technology,
and SnapGear is no exception with full standards compliance. But did
you know that only SnapGear products also fully support PPTP – the
standard VPN technology available in Microsoft Windows! You don’t
need to spend extra money on 3r d-party software for all of your
computers – just use the standard Windows VPN client.
