Hi there

We eventually got our Mac Mini Server. We now want to set up a small Remote Access VPN using this Mac Mini Server.

Firstly we are not sure of the components needed additionally to the server to setup this VPN. We currently have the following:

1 Mac Mini Server
1 Firewall Router (Billion 802.11g ADSL2+ router with VPN capabilities [it says so on the box])
4Mbps ADSL connection (which should have VPN capability enabled by the service provider, or so we heard)

We are not sure what else needs to be included to enable our small VPN. Any advice would be really helpful.
