Hi /comp/,
I'll be away from home for a little while and would like to access the files stored on my main box over the Internets with my other boxen, especially my laptop. Places where I'll be accessing my data from will vary and I don't neccessarily have access to NAT tables etc.
Long story short, VPN seems the way to go, but I'm utterly clueless on the solution I should use. NAT traversal techniques for the client would be great and the software should be free; the server will run under Windows 2000 (If there's a live CD making ntfs drives available for reading with an included vpn server for exactly these purposes, tell me, for this would also be acceptable), whereas the client should be able to run under 2000 or XP.
Any suggestions? No especially fancy stuff is needed; optional encryption would be nice, but is no must-have, as the data channels I'll be communicating over will mostly be what could be considered as secure.
