VPN Equipment/Software selection

[TBOB]

New to the VPN world. Have a basic understanding of what VPN is and is for. Trying to decide what equipment/software to purchase. Have only 1 user that needs to connect to pc at the home office at this time. Any advice, links, or comments to help guide me through this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Tony

You could also use a Cisco 831 router to work as a VPN server. The client software is for unlimitied users so long as it is used to connect to a Cisco endpoint. Would need a static IP address for your internet connection.
