Setting up a VPN Connection

[macally]

A friend has asked me to set them up a network consisting of a low end HP Tower Server running Windows SBS2011 and a couple of computers running Windows 7 Professional. He also wants to be able to connect to the server from home and has said a company he used to work for had VPN access.

Is VPN access the best way to go and if it is, do I need to get a VPN Firewall or will any Firewall be sufficient?

I'm ok with setting up servers and everything but never set up VPN access before.

Thanks

A fully configured SBS2011 box will provide you with remote access without needing a VPN.

You also have the option of using something like LogMeIn.
