VPN Recommendations

[BostonDan]

Hi Everyone,

I'm inexperienced with VPN and looking for recommendations. I'm a sole-proprietor and host SugarCRM on a Synology NAS within my network. I'd like to be able to access SugarCRM when traveling. I might transfer a file or two remotely, but I don't envision doing any significant file transfers. My main goal is to update and access SugarCRM remotely. Currently my router is a DIR-655.

To accomplish remote access, I'm guessing that I need a new router with VPN and not a full UTM device. Security is important. Any recommendations or thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Dan

VPN routers make this pretty easy. There's a lot of different choices out there, so just pick one you like.

Thanks All

Tanks all for responding.

I ended up hosting Sugarcrm with my web hosting provider. It was much easier than I imagined and I think the responsiveness will be better than anything I could achieve with the Synology.

I knew I could use the Synoology to host a VPN connection, but I didn't like the idea of having it host VPN. I will likely pickup a VPN router once I have time to dedicate to setting it up. Hopefully as I browse smallnetbuilder something will stand out above the rest and then I will buy.

Thanks again everyone.

I think you've actually found the best solution. Professional hosting puts all the software management, threat management, and all that junk on them and allows you to focus on work. And because it's with a host, you've probably already got access to it from anywhere now, right?
