@DustinB3403 What do you mean by "not point to point"?
Ha I thought he meant PPTP.

@scottalanmiller I'm looking for something I can use with any mobile or desktop device, where only at my home is there VPN equipment (XenServer VM hosting the applicance)
Which I can use my laptop (linux) or family members equipment to connect with back home.
The best correlation that I can think of is Cisco Any Connect, which you just connect to the VPN by providing credentials.

That's just a standard IPSec VPN.

I prefer OpenVPN over IPSEC because it seems to connect easier over various networks when traveling, but yeah, really any standard IPSEC or OpenVPN setup is what you are after. What device is acting as your edge routing device now?

I'm going to be setting up a VM to perform this function for me.
As it is now, I have my ISP, and home router. Obviously I could completely bypass my home router, and setup a VM based one, and then pass back to the router for wireless, but this seems a bit convoluted to do.
I'm considering just putting a pass-through from my router directly to my VM host on a dedicated port for WAN serviceability, and then a 2nd NIC for LAN access.
Any recommendations?
