I'm sure I forgot a step or 3, but hopefully, you get the idea of how an ssh connection would be done.1 Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client For Mac Os X V10.7 Apple Support Communities / Mac OS & System Software / Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger. The -L tunnels are fully encrypted going over the ssh connection. And the ssh connections are fully encrypted, so no 3rd party VPN service needed. NOTE: ssh is already a very secure protocol. Now you can connect to the home Mac from a remote location, or test it while sitting in your living room. On the destination Mac, you have to enable Screen Sharing and file sharing if you wish to use those services (System Preferences -> Sharing) On the destination Mac, you have to enable System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Access (this turns on ssh services for that Mac). They most likely do not know your personal account name, and will not be trying to crack your account. Script kiddies that find an open ssh port always try to guess the root password. Make sure the destination Mac has very good passwords for all user accounts, AND DO NOT enable the root account. If you do not get a dynamic DNS name, you will have to use the ISP assigned IP address and that can change, especially after an ISP outage (ice storms, tornados, hurricanes, etc.), or you power-cycle your ISP's modem.

Get a free dynamic DNS name from someplace like and run their dynamic DNS name updater on one of your Macs, unless your home router offers the service that will work with a dynamic DNS provider to keep the dynamic DNS name updated. You can open as many ports with different hight numbered ports going to different individual home computers as you have, if you want. I suggest you open a high numbered port on the Internet side of your router that maps to the standard port 22 on the destination Mac. See: for instructions on how to open a router port.

I can go into details, but it is geeky, and there are a lot of steps. As in, I have a hammer (ssh) and everything looks like a nail to me.

I do not think using ssh is better, just something I know. I never bothered to learn how to setup a VPN server, because I figured out remote ssh connections first, and I was sufficiently happy with what I had. And everything you could do while at home, you could do when connected to your VPN from a remote location.

NOT a commercial VPN vendor.ДЄ private home VPN server would allow your remote Mac to appear as if it was at home. But to be clear I'm talking about setting up and running your own home VPN server. There is a way to put the copy you run at home into a server mode so you can connect without someone to grant access.ДЄlso connections are fully encrypted, so not 3rd party VPN needed.ДЄs for a VPN, DaveH or JohnB (MGG hosts) would be better at explaining that, or maybe there is a article on it. If nothing else you should experiment with just to see if you find it useful.
