Generally Curious: Remote Desktop via a VPN

[Guest]

Is it possible to connect to another computer using Remote Desktop - through
a VPN
If so, how would it be set up?

Thanks in advance

Sure, I do that through an OpenVPN tunnel... I have OpenVPN links on this
page...

You can also do that using the built-in XP PPTP VPN server...

Another way is through a Secure Shell (SSH) tunnel...
