Hi Aman, You have many many options.My personal preference is to set up an IPSec tunnel between your external router at work and your home computer. Remember IPSec cannot pass through a NAT, so if you have a NAT at home you would have to tunnel nat-nat.
But SSH can also be used to do port forwarding. It could be more restrictive which could be good or bad.
Best Wishes and Good Luck, Chris Aman Raheja wrote:
