Hi,

I am running suse 10 and I am looking for a good vpn solution. What I
want to do, is to run suse at home with a vpn client, and then
remotely connect (remote desktop) to my computer at the office (also
running suse).

I wonder if someone has good experience with this?


Thanks in advance,
Rohnny

Rohnny:

I use remote via internet extensively...

But a lot of Ideas are get mixed up in this thread here...
so I'll just do a quick rundown:

Rdesktop on linux works better than RDP on XP.

SSH -X is ssssllllooooowwww.
vnc over ssh is faster.
Nx over ssh is fastest.


What do you really need/want....

if all you need is to remote into a Linux machine then Nx and ssh is your best
bet. (If the remote is SUSE I give you setup guides)
(Or you may decide to go with VNC over ssh to avoid maintenance of nx).

If you also need access to RemoteDesktop on window machines,
you could use RDesktop over SSH.

If you want to work on your local machine as if it was connected to
your office network, you need a VPN. (a VPN uses more traffic than tunnels)

Pick your poison, and we'll help you set it up...
