    Explain IP pools to me like i'm seven years old

    Hi all. I'm trying to set up a VPN server using PPTP protocol on my TPLink ER605 router to access things on my local network remotely, a mac mini in particular. I need to choose an allowable set of IP addresses that the VPN clients can use. What do I choose for these? Anything I want? Are...

    Setting up VPN server (router?) for offsite access

    TBH, I'm not sure who's providing the IP addresses for my local LAN? maybe the are all DHCP? How would i find this out? I'll do some searching for using the QNAP - not opposed to additional HW if it makes it easier for me though.

    Setting up VPN server (router?) for offsite access

    Hi all, found this forum, seems helpful to newbs like me - I'm a semi tech-y fellow here but not much in the way of IT things, although I'm learning. I'd like to set up a way to access and log into my mac-mini, which is at home, from anywhere on the internet. Currently I can do this via the...
