Ok, no RSA certs, no non-standard port numbers, just use openvpn? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
So I would set up openvpn on my remote server and connect to it from: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
1. my local print server for printing |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
2. my laptop for ssh and imap |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Could I also only allow access to my website's admin pages through openvpn? |
