Hey guys,

I'd like to setup a VPN on my PC that is sitting at home collecting dust. Mainly so i can connect through it from work to access my local network and tunnel any torrenting a may want to do at work.
Thoughts on a free setup or a torrentable client would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Do you know what a VPN is? If i wanted to remote access a computer I'd use teamviewer. If I'l like my laptop that i'm on at work to be on my home network I need a VPN.

A VPN is a virtual private network, nothing like an RDP.

Are comfortable with linux? Just setup a headless server and install OpenVPN.

I am comfortable with linux. However, the PC is running windows 7 and I need it for iSpyConnect.
