You'd probably want to follow this website, then. http://thedailywtf.com/

I'm surprised no one mentioned Softether https://www.softether.org/ - with multi-protocol support and site-to-site capability, it should be able to cover all your needs. Setup a server in the cloud - DigitalOcean is a cheap and excellent host - with Softether. Setup another softether client in your household on an old machine and set the two to do a site-to-site. From the digital ocean installation, ensure that the gateway is whatever you like to be (another VPN to work, perhaps?) and you're all set.

Rob/Taco, Thanks for Slashdot. I've been a reader since 1998 - I was at college at the time too. I've been reading /. almost daily since then. I lost my original UID but hey, even the "new one" is not that bad :)

Your fix should be modded funny.. wrongly! LOL!

This crash that you're having is due to bad references in your registry for the shell extension that handles the ISO files. Get something like CCleaner http://ccleaner.com/ and let it fix your registry. If that doesn't work, search for the ISO file extension handles in your registry and remove it. I used to reinstall Windows very frequently, but stopped doing so and got myself a Macbook Pro instead - but this is what I used to do to give it some extra life.
