Connecting two LAN's across the Internet
Ok, I have two offices geographically separate both with fibre broadband connections.
Office 1 has an internal network of 192.168.10.0, Router internal IP is 192.168.10.254
Office 2 has an internal network of 192.168.0.0, Router internal IP is 192.168.0.1
Both routers are Draytek 2830's
I want to setup a link between the two offices so that staff can access files between the two.
What is the best way to achieve this and how do I actually do it. I'd rather not break my routers as I tinker about trying to get it right.
Thanks in advance.

I am not familiar with this particular device, however the spec online say it supports LAN-LAN VPN, so it should be possible.
