Slight variation on the often asked question of getting around university port blocking.
Others have reccomended Tor as a solution to this problem. At the same time, loss of speed is cited using this method.
I have a laptop (XP Home) and a desktop (XP Pro). I've had suggestions of setting up a VPN between the two to get around the campus blocking, but little in the way of how you actually go about doing that. For the sake of the argument, let's say I'd like to play World of Warcraft on my lunch hours.
I'm far from an idiot when it comes to computers, but my skill with networking terminology and concepts is shakey. Just never had much reason to learn it in depth.
Thoughts?
