| VPN over Internet, and how
This is the description, and if you can solve it for me.
At my company we have Server running UNIX. On UNIX we have database and software on which other users on VPN input and read data from database througout terminal client software.
Also we have router/modem ADSL that is attached directly onto switch.
We also have another office that is remote.
Now here is the catch. How can we setup remote office to access database, throughout internet, onto our UNIX server?
ADSL IP's are static. |

| You want to look into a Site-to-Site VPN product. Since you're a Unix shop, you could do this with OpenVPN or if you don't mind Windows, with RRAS which I find much easier.
There are also router solutions which would probably be the easiest, but I don't have any experience with them. I'm sure some folks will be along shortly with ideas.

Using a pair of VPN routers to create an IPSEC Site to Site VPN has the advantage of not requiring any changes to the computers at either end. (server or clients) But they cost money.
If everyone at the remote site needs access to the Database and/or Printers at the head office, then VPN routers are ideal, if only one remote PC needs access to just one server, a software solution may be better.
VNC is a cross platform application to control remote computers. (Like Remote Desktop, but Windows, Mac, and *nix versions interacts seamlessly)
I use RV042 routers, but many VPN routers are available from many vendors.
