vpn uk i think it has to do with the proxy setting

proxy is NOT a vpn account, but do believe that fileshare or filesonic will not work in the UK,( can't remember off hand) unless you use a IP from another country, like with a vpn

hi. if you are using a VPN to your office... and your office proxy blocks the "fileshare or filesonic" sites, you won't be able to access it.

is there a reason why you must use VPN?

I guess it depends if the office Admin is any good...if you connect to a vpn account, then the trail stops, then you should be able to connect to your fav file download site and the office Admin will not know the difference. From his screen you just go to some site, which will be non UK in your case, which to him will be just an IP address, so unless he is savy in on THIS site ip...it should be np.

How to set up a vpn server

Hi,
Can someone describe the steps how to set up a vpn 'server' from my home, so that I can access my files from outside?
Thanks

Really a different question from just plain vpn use , which to me is used to protect yourself drom being "snooped" on by big brother....
