If you give us some more info, we might be able to help you pick the best one for your setup. What OS are the computers running? Are these business use or home use, or a combination of both? Do you have a hardware firewall at either location? If so, what kind? What type of internet connection does each site have?

A lot depends on what your requirements are.

VPN solutions can range from several hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars.

If you're just connecting to you home PC, then a $200 Netgear VPN router with 1 VPN license would do the trick.

If you're connecting to a hospital network, then a Cisco VPN concentrator using RSA SecurId for authentication may be the best solution.

I have used hamachi in the past.

its a pretty simple vpn program and its free

install the app on the pc (you want to host resources from) then create a LAN/network name and password

install the app 2nd pc and click join - type your network name and password that you created.

next, map a drive of your shared resources (\\5.x.x.x\C$)

it uses the 5.x.x.x ip scheme to give you a temp ip address. Once your joined together in hamachi it will auto connect and show the ip of the computers on a list so you cant forget. its a pretty cool tool. hope it helps

no port forwarding
no router/firewall configs

if you want to use remote desktop you can use hamachi and realvnc combo ;)
