Might need it depending on your needs, so it might default on since folk would call when things don't work.
But really what good is this thing. I've written router code in the 90's and to this day the only time I use a VPN is for when I want to VPN into our work network.
I have Steganos Online Shield and it apparently is a VPN service.
It set up an Ethernet2 network on my laptop. Does it require Remote Access and File and Print Sharing enabled.
It had file and print sharing enable and I unchecked it. Does it need both to function properly.
