Personal VPN
----------
Greetings,

I have been scouring the internet for an answer to my question, but have not found one yet.

Next year I will be doing graduate work and I wish to be able to access my home network (2 desktops computers, and a shared external hard drive) so I can work on my files remotely, from my laptop. I would do this over the internet, from school.

So, I have a couple questions:

Can a person make a small VPN using a consumer router/ap like Linksys or Netgear?

And, do I need a dedicated server, or does a router let me connect to the network remotely.

One more...are there any good books or articles on the internet that can help a network layman with this. I have experience setting up home networks, but not with VPN.

Any help received would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Caleb Bassett
