Can I setup a VPN on xp pro? I need to setup a server that is accessable from the internet and that can monitor and restrict access to files/folders based on their security. I also need people to be able to logon at the same time. Is there a better way to do this?

I've also run OpenVPN on XP w/ no problems -- works decently, but it can be a little hard to install. No idea on how to use the MS VPN stuff, sorry.
