I don’t know why but the browser I got does not show your page properly… Are you sure this article has been tested with Safari? You may want to check it out, although it might come from a bug on my side

Tim,
The VPN didn’t like http:xxx.homeserver.com because you need to drop the http://
Like Microsoft’s example in the wizard said contoso.com; you need to type the following:
xxx.homeserver.com where “xxx” is your personal domain.

By setting up a vpn you could backup your computer remotely. Or you want to grab files off your server without going through the hoops of the website zipping files.

The instructions worked great for me 2 hiccups though. 1. vpn didn’t like http://xxx.homeserver.com. I had to find the ip and it connected fine.

2. When setting up the port 1723 I think. If it gives you an application type choice make sure to choose the vpn pptp. Until I did that I didn’t have any success. I’m running a Uverse 2Wire gateway.

Why go through all those backflips to get remote access? I just use LogMeIn Free, it works great and it’s free.
