hello guys! can u please help me set up/connect to a vpn(virtual private network)? im in canada and i would like to connect to a philippine vpn host. i have seen steps on how to connect to one which is just like making a new dial-up connection. however, when i try to connect i get error msgs like 'vpn server may be unreachable' or 'the connection needs a certificate'. this really puzzles me because i am quite a computer noob (no make that a total computer noob T_T). my OS is windows xp and i have a linksys router with cable connection. my internet connection is working fine. i have some questions here.. please feel free to answer any of them. - what do you need in order to set up a vpn? do i have to download some software? - what do you need to do to be able to successfully connect to a vpn? - how are proxy servers different from vpn? - how do i know what to use PPTP or L2TP? - do i need to configure something else on my router in order to be able to connect to a vpn? - will i definitely be needing certificates? and how do i get one? - is the "go to my pc" software like a vpn? replies would be very much appreciated thank you! hope someone kind person helps me out god bless!
