Local area network between home and office?

Question

VPN

Hello. Don't drink too much.
There is: At work, a video surveillance server, 1C, NAS, etc. Mikrotik router.
The task is as follows: you need to be able to work at home as if you were in a local network in the office, that is, watch cameras, watch the 1C database, see NAS, see ZABBIX charts, etc.
1) Do I understand correctly that you need to raise a VPN pptp server on mikrotik, and connect from home as a client?
Or are there better solutions, or faster ones?
2) What do you need for comfortable work? The maximum upload speed in the office, and downloading at home?

Answer 1

IPSec is everything. in tunnel mode.
At home, I even raise secondary DNS indicating primary to clerical - so that clerical names can be used (such as site1.kontora.local). But at home, respectively, you also need a Mikrotik. And so that anyone does not go to my network - I jam the "superfluous" ones with the same Mikrotik.
PPTP is acceptable if you hammer a big bolt on security and you need an exit from only one single wheelbarrow.
The concept of "comfortable work" - it is different for everyone. I now have a ping to home computers from work - 2.5 ms, in my opinion it is quite comfortable, although of course you can’t watch the video ...

Answer 2

VLAN will be faster, but more expensive and not all providers provide it.
