Well, title says it all. I'm trying to create a vpn server on my iMac back home.

The reason I want it, is because I want to be able to connect to our home network when I'm somewhere else.

My younger brother bought Lion Server. So I decided to install that on our iMac (since he didn't use it). I enabled the vpn option, but that's all.

I set the router to forwarding on a certain port (not 80), I set put this entire thing in the "server admin" app.

Anyway, I just can't figure out how to set up my iMac (and router) so I can access it from my macbook pro. I'm quite new to all this networking stuff. So if somebody knows a tutorial or manual for setting up (not connecting to) a VPN server on my iMac at home, that would be great.
