VPN From Mac

Jimbu · 14 Feb 2006 at 19:42

Looking to be able to connect to my internet connection at home from school. The only method i know is what my friend said to use a VPN but... Since my home computer is a mac i am having difficulities doing this. I have so far linked my router to a domain name because of the dynamic dns but thats as far as i can get.

My router is a BT Voyager 2091. Is there a simpler way just by connecting to my router instead of a computer in the VPN? I have not got my PC with me so i need to be able to just link to the address easily when i get back to school without any hassle.

There are settings on the router for a DMZ host if this helps?
Any help appreciated. Thanks

Just use SSH or VNC, with a strong password?

VNC is absolutely dreadful, I'm looking for a half decent alternative now, I'll let you know.

Unless it's dodgy, why not just do it from the PC?

The mac belongs to my sister. IM looking to be able to use the internet connection from school so im not restricted.

And there ends this thread. If your school's IT admin says you can't view particular sites at school, then it's not our business to help you break his rules.
