Picked up a DrayTek2820n and want to configure it so it's secure for home use. I factory reset and set it up for the following:

1. Connected to SuperHub (which is in Modem Mode)
2. Port Forwarding for my PC (RDP), Rasberry Pi (Vnc) and Xbox 360
3. Setup a DynDNS
4. Wireless N setup with WPA2/PSK key

Is there anything else I should do to secure this router as its got a lot more options than my Virgin Super HUB
 
On my Draytek 2820n to allow me to access my PC via RDP I have to use Port Forwarding AND Port Redirection??? It didn't work until I enabled Port Redirection... on other routers Port Forwarding is enough. Is this correct?
 
But when I just use NAT>open ports and try to rdp or put the ip address of my Raspberry Pi Web interface it doesn't connect, only when I use port redirection.

EDIT: Must be noob week for me, I had WAN1 selected rather than WAN2, now it wrks :) I've taken off Port Redirection.

As for RDP , I need to port forward otherwise I won't be able to RDP to my PC from Work right?

My router has an option for VPN is it easy to setup? I've also made my router accessible from the Internet by typing in my DynDNS but I want this to be more secure because all I get is the basic router login page.
