I need to implement a VPN solution in a SOHO environment. So far I know of several alternatives:
-Hire a VPN provider
-VPS with OpenVPN.
-Run a dd-wrt OpenVPN enabled router.
I'm searching for a hosted alternative if possible, but I don't have enough knowledge to ensure a secure VPS setup. I'm also looking for VPN out-of-the-box providers, but I think most of them are not reliable, in terms of privacy. Last option is pretty cool, but It would require static IP and hiring a domain, so I think it would be worth looking for a VPS and forget about maintenance. Hamachi-like options are discarded.
Which one would be the recommended approach and why? Thanks.
The major telco carriers (AT&T, Verizon, etc.) offer managed VPN solutions. You might take a look to see if their offerings fit your requirements.
