VPN's are like cars. There are hundreds of different types available. Describe what you are trying to do. Describe what (if any) infrastructure you currenlty have in place. Finaly, describe your goals for this VPN.
Sometimes I have my home computer running downloading something that takes several hours, and I want to check the status and handle the file if downloaded. I want to use remote desktop to do that, but just cannot connect. I know it may be because my home or office computers are behind firewall, my office IP is 192.168.10.X.
Sometimes I leave my office computer running downloading something, I want do the same thing at home.
In office I can use remote desktop to connect other computers in the office network. I just want to do the same to my home computer.
Yes, VPN is one of the underlying technologies that can allow you to remote desktop between computers at home and work. VPN's can be very easy or very hard to setup depending on your circumstances.
Before we get too far down this rabbit hole maybe a free service like logmein.com would work for you?
Yes logmein will work for you being your office probably has a firewall in place. As for downloading for hours at the office remember you are using bandwidth that co-workers may need.
