hi all,

Hopefully in the near future, I shall be going abroad for my PG (MBA) studies. I will be carrying my laptop with me, but would also like to have remote access (file sharing, remote control, etc.) to my desktop at home.

I've used a number of web-based solutions such as Webex and Teamviewer for remote access in the past. My question is, should i just stick with these and configure them for permanent access or is it better to try a VPN solution?

A simple and hassle free solution would be appreciated. I don't really need a high security VPN or anything complex. Also, what are typical file transfer speeds between 2 peers connected thru this type of network?

thanks!

i dont know much about VPN.. but a non secure handle will surely be dangerous..

Nothing to worry you need to setup VPN connectivity within your Laptop and Desktop in order to get this done... you can do this with OpenVPN free and open source VPN server its very easy and very effective.

Even in India pvt and Govt sector uses the same software for making VPN connectivity for their remote locations.

if you need any help then let me know.
