Secure Remote Data Access for Home Users

Summary: Setting Up A VPN Connection Quickly And Easily

Setting up a VPN connection for private use is no problem under Windows Vista. The setup procedure is quick and easy, and gives users the opportunity to securely exchange data over an unsecured network with a remote computer.

Installing an FTP server on a home computer also guarantees quick and uncomplicated access to shared data, but the security issue is of relevance here, as the FTP protocol is almost always not encrypted. Another advantage of the VPN connection is that you are able to use your client computer to access your network, which also gives you access to other computers and services. Configuring the router for additional services, such as remote desktop connections or a connection to VNC, is not necessary, as you are already inside your network.
