VPN - which, why and what for?

If you run a decent firmware on your router (Tomato USB shibby build), then you can run OpenVPN as a server from this (or a client), very useful. You can also run a PPTP VPN if you are so inclined. Typically I just use the CBC-BF encryption, it's fast and I get good throughput. You will need a relatively decent router, something like an RT-N16 works well, can be had pretty cheap these days as well. I frankly cannot recommend this firmware enough, it just has so many features, and correctly setup it is a real beast (off topic I know).
