Hi all

Thought I would expand my knowledge in Linux/Networking/VPN by trying a little project out, just wanted to see if you guys have any suggestions.

Setup:

Home PC (Linux) - Router - Internet - Office

I would like to be able to VPN in to my home pc from the office. Simple.

Router doesnt have built-in VPN capabilities.

I was thinking the best way to do this is to install some VPN Server software onto my Linux box, one I came across was OpenVPN. Setup Port Forwarding on the router to point port xxx to my LAN IP, then in theory I should be able to find some VPN Client software, tap in my home's external IP and reach my linux box right? Hence then I should be able to ping my other LAN devices, etc.

Any suggestions on any part appreciated!
