Hi
I am thinking of installing a VPN, mainly for secure/anonymous internet browsing, on my home machine and want to make sure I know what I am getting into. I am running BI4 on that machine and it has been flawless for a few years. I am using it for remote monitoring from an android smart phone. Keeping that running is my biggest concern. Will I screw things up if I go for a VPN service? Is there anything else I need to know before I proceed. Also I plan on upgrading my computer and upgrading to BI5 in the over the winter. I keep seeing references to openVPN. I am not sure if that is stand alone encrytion software for p2p or a VPN service with servers etc. I am more than a little confused.
The explaination is probably much too complicated for a reply on a forum. Does anyone know of to a current, how-to reference, that would help me get started? There is "VPN for Dummies" book availabe, but it is 20 years old. Something similar, but current, may fit the bill. I am willing to take the time to learn.
Thanks for any help.
John
