Hi I have Been Trying For Sometime Now To Setup A VPN With A Friend... We Both Run XP Pro And Both Have A 2mb Cable Connection.. He runs A Network Through A proxy Server And I run A Network Through A linksys Router... I think this Seems To Be Unsafe On One Single Local Area Connection Because Of To Many Open Ports... My Question Is Will This Type Of Network Be easilly Compromised By Hackers? And If So How Can I Prevent It?
