Yes that is exactly what I am trying to do, but it appears that the
router I have though it supports VPN it only does so for the client
side on the LAN side, the WAN side is peer to peer with another
router, I am trying to get into the WAN side from a VPN client and
so far no joy. Just to check and confirm it I move the computer over
to the LAN side and it linked right up... I found out all of this after I
had sent the initial note. I need a router that is client agnostic on
either the LAN or WAN side.
If I had the space I would get a small machine and do it with a head
less Linux box and be done with it but do not.
I just need to find a router with a VPN that will support client access
from either side of the router, not just peer to peer on the WAN side.
Thanks for the info, will continue to look.
