I want to create a secure VPN tunnel from my laptop at work to my network at home. I want all net work traffic to be routed through the VPN connection to my remote server and then out to the internet as if I were located on my home network.
Here is what my setup "looks" like:
<Laptop -> <- Wireless Rounter/Firewall/NAT -> <- Work Network -> <-Firewal/NAT -> <- Internet -> <- Cable "Modem" -> <- Router/Firewall/NAT -> <- Home Network -> <- Server>
I have control over the wireless router and of course my home router, but have no control over the work firewall/NAT.
Currently I use remote desktop to control my home server from my laptop at work, but would prefer not to have to do that.
I don't need access to the local network at work, this is my personal laptop, I just want to be able to get to the internet from my laptop as if I were at home.
Both of the routers under my control are DLink routers by the way.
