A nice solution IF it's available.
Actually under most circumstances only traffic to the corporate lan would go over the vpn and traffic to the internet would go directly to the internet, while keeping local traffic local. If your corporate remote access folks will allow this type of vpn and you or they have a old 486 / Pentium lying around you can use SmoothWall GPL http://www.smoothwall.org which is a free firewall / VPN router that we use for some of our employees. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
