Hi folks
I am wondering if I could get some insight/recommendation from someone regarding setting up a simple VPN at home.
It is going to serve two purposes
1. safe surfing on laptop and android devices while on open wifi networks
2. getting access to my home network while travelling.
I have a cisco/linksys E4200 router at the moment, that can handle DD-WRT (but very troublesome flashing, that might brick it) to my knowledge, but it seems not to be the best router to do it on and I'm thinking of ditching it for something else.
or.. if the VPN server can be realized on an additional device in the network, this could work out for me too.
got recommended the ASA 5505, but seems to get expensive as you buy the licences (?), as I need at least VPN connections for 5 users.
So far I've managed to test that android works good with openVPN and PPTP protocol, not sure about the rest.. If someone knows what works on android KitKat 4.4.4 devices (and not), I would be very greatful)
Don't really need top notch enterprise performance, as I only have ADSL (25/5) anyway.
Hoping someone could give me some pointers
Cheers
