    An overly complicated home network. Converting from dumb to managed switch.

    complicated vpn setup, please help?

    Hi, I've been coming here for years, but never had enough knowledge to help, and never had a need. Now, I hope that someone here will be able to help. This is long. No screen shots yet, as hopefully you can tell me what you need to see... I've been trying to learn about routing, but I think I'm...
