Is it possible to allow someone on another LAN to join your own across the internet? I understood that that's what a VPN is, but it seems the term's been claimed by people looking to browse privately...I can't find much mention of it, even though it seems like a vital networking tool to me.
I've heard that there are routers that will work as a VPN server, but is that what I need?
My intention is to play games over LAN with someone in Wales (I'm in England).

Thanks,

Cris

Here is a link that will provide some explanation and options:

If you google words like "how to setup a VPN tutorial" you can find many more links.

The idea is that you gain a sense of what needs to be done and how it is done. Then you can start looking into the VPN options best suiting your requirements.
