I am setting up a computer specifically to serve as my personal server for when I move away from home to on campus, but all the information I find is not correct or useless. I am looking to have this server up and running with its VPN by December, for obvious reasons.
Here are the devices involved:
eMachine desktop powered by Windows 7 Home Premium (designated to be the server and VPN host) (at home where I can control the modem and router)
Gateway laptop powered by Windows 8.1 (laptop) (needs to be able to connect to the VPN)
Microsoft Surface 2 powered by Windows RT 8.1 (tablet) (needs to be able to connect to the VPN)
Any information and suggestions are welcomed.
