You can always use SSH to access your server. Just don't forget to allow port 22 or whatever port you use for SSH in iptables, and forward that port on your router so you can access it from outside your private network.
Hi
access do the users at home want to the server and http based local application, internet facility i.e the way user work in local same way from outside
sorry for last posting it is wrongly done i required that the users at home want the server and http based local application access, internet facility etc i.e they can work from home with full access which they have in office

Ok, please pay attention: none of us here know WHAT 'full access' they have in the office, what the "etc" is, or what you're trying to achieve.
"Full access" could mean to one web page, or web+ssh, or web+ssh+ftp+samba/NFS shares, etc. So, which is it? What services do you need? What is the network topology? Firewall(s)? Authentication methods? If you want a short answer, open a port through your firewall for anything you want folks to access. Want better security? Then install a VPN system, which is what they're for.
Hi
As per my requirment i have to use vpn system, How the vpn configured in centos5.3?.
And since you didn't bother telling us of your 'requirement' until just now, how were we supposed to know? Want VPN? Then load the OpenVPN software from your repositories, and configure it. Visit the OpenVPN website, and read the docs and see the examples. http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-so...ion/howto.html
And again, you are NOT ANSWERING QUESTIONS that you're being asked. If you don't, you can't expect to get ANY help, on ANY topic.
