I just configured VPN access successfully so that I now can connect to my workstation at work from my personal Linux box at home. The problem is that all of my dev files for a server I'm locally running are on my personal box and cannot be transfered to my workstation (at least not in any timely manner over this connection given the amount of data, in addition to the many reconfigurations which would be required for the server to run even if I could somehow get the files across).
So essentially, I am able to run my server locally on my personal computer, however, the data-sources required for the back-end are accessible only from within the office's network. But is there some way for me to somehow either access the data-sources directly through a VPN connection or even if I need to be a bit more convoluted by connecting via VPN to my workstation and then somehow connecting to the data-sources through my workstation to my personal computer?
And here I could really care less about the speed of the connection from my server to the data-sources since they will probably only be fetched a few times every hour or so.
Thanks!
Sorry if this a stupid question and/or doesn't make any sense!
(And sorry for anyone who read this at stackoverflow, I posted it in the wrong area.)
