Asked by Adam_Twelve in Virtual Private Networking (VPN), File Servers, Network Security
Hi, I need to set up a file server in a small office with 5 XP Pro computers in a workgroup network. The users need to be able to access the file server from remote computers, no more than 3 at a time. The files are mostly small PDFs and Word docs. Multiple users need to be able to open the files and print/read them at the same time, they do not need to edit them at the same time. Security is very important.
I have used a D-link DNS-323 to do the local file sharing in the past and it has worked great. I am not very familiar with VPNs though. I have looked into some ways of doing this and a VPN seems like the best option. The office has a dynamic IP, and I plan on using dyndns. If I use a linksys WRV 210 and QuickVPN will the users be able to connect to the mapped network storage and be secure? Is a SonicWall, or router running DD-WRT v24-VPN a better option? Or should I look into another way of setting this up?
