How do I create a permanent VPN between my Linode server and router?
My office router supports PPTP, OpenVPN and IPSec servers.
I wish to create a point to point VPN to allow me to connect via the VPN to file sharing, and allow non VPN users to connect to http/https ports.
I figure some sort of permanent VPN client on my Linnode server might work.
I tried it the other way, but as soon as I connected my office client to the Linnode server - the linnode server become uncontactable until I disconnected the VPN client.
Any help would be welcome.
