Which Router?

19 March 2013, 14:11

After a better router than the standard given to me by my ISP, mainly one that allows me to VPN into my LAN when I am away from the office, anyone got any recommendations?

Apple Airport? I got one, the BT HomeHub was awful, kids ringing me every couple of days 'Dad, Internet not working'.

Airport is rock solid, dunno if it does VPN tho, pretty sure I saw it in the menus mind...

+1 I'm about to upgrade from my Vigor 2820Vn as I've just got BT Infinity. I'll only consider a Draytek to replace it.

Make Sure

When you VPN into your LAN make sure you are on a totally encrypted connection with a sniffer on I can read your traffic.WI fI easy to sniff your traffic.If your LAN admin is on the ball the LAN server should be cutting off your connection after 45 minutes of non use by yourself. On your laptop you should have everything encrypted using
freeware TrueCrypt - Free Open-Source On-The-Fly Disk Encryption Software for Windows 7/Vista/XP, Mac OS X and Linux If stolen sezzed by the Feds or Customs nobody but nobody can read your vital information.
