Do you think it’s better to use Windows Default VPN (as per tutorial) or SSH connection?

I normally use SSH connection through Ubuntu server and remotely access the XP client through SSH port forwarding (I know it’s totally harder than the above steps), but is VPN more secure than SSH connections?

((User accounts must be given VPN access via user properties. ))
I realized that even for administrator user name we have to enable VPN access.

((then pick Do not dial the initial connection.))
You would not be able to see this if you have ethernet connection to your LAN , but if you have dialup connection then you would be able to see this option.

((IPSec: 500, 50-51.))
I did not need to enable those port on my FVS318 V3 netgear router

10.0.0.0/24 is a private network address range. You need to find the public IP addresses on both sides and try again. If it still doesn’t work then try this page:

this is the first “easy step by step” manual i have found, but didnt work for me.

im getting a 800 error code, looks like my home computer (local network 10.0.0.0/24) its not able to connect trough vpn to my work (also 10.0.0.0/24…) altough rdp its working perfectly.

maybe is this network configuration (same on both side) causing the problem?

logs dont seem to say anithing, and im stuck

if you can help me, or i make any success, ull know

thanks!

Thank you very much for providing the detailed step by step instructions. I have gone through serveral postings but this one is very clear, simple and I did it. Thanks again.
