Virtual private networks: secure E-commuting

摘要

Setting up a VPN can be complicated; but with the proper hardware & software, the average Macintosh user can do it. With all the different protocols, setup needs to be thought out before hand. If you choose a hardware router/VPN, research the manufacturers products first to see which protocols they work with. I've had no problem with my Linksys router, and I've setup other common brands that have worked as well (D-Link, Netgear, etc.) I would suggest viewing equinux's website at http://www.equinux.com/us/products/vpntracker/interoperability.html for a list of products that work with VPN Tracker. If you're going to use Internet Connect, it is very compatible with a large range of products; but doesn't offer near as much customization as VPN Tracker. I strongly suggest downloading and trying out equinux's VPN Tracker to keep those private networks secure!
