VPN and VNC setup

Hi there,

This is the first time I am using open source software and so far I am liking it. However, I am having a difficult time setting up the vpn.
The only info I have is what I used in my previous OS system (Windows) is the IP address, username and password. I also have the vnc server address.
The PC I want to connect to has a Windows OS system.

Could someone please assist me with this. :? :cry:

Hi,

start here:

https://help.ubuntu.com/13.04/serverguide/vpn.html

You the need "openvpn" package!. Install via terminal with the following command:

Code:
sudo apt-get install openvpn


For VNC:

Code:
sudo apt-get install vnc4server


Another option, if you're using Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection client:

Code:
sudo apt-get install xrdp


What version of Zorin are you using?.

Hi,

it doesn't really matter which version you are using, it was really just a question!.

Do you have it working now?.
