    hi guys

    I am considering putting tas books on a windows vps and making it accessible via logmein's Hamachi do you think this will work for 2 users to access tas from laptops?

    Presumably the TAS files can be stored on a network device so why not have them on a computer you own and connect via an encrypted VPN. You can install OpenVPN (free open source software). Install the server on the computer with the TAS files and the clients on the laptops.

    That does sound like a solid alternative.

    Thank you my good man.

    Agree with FSL, that option should be able to sort you out..

    As above excellent suggestions , May i add that for a very low price you can park a single VM instance into cloud be it EC2 amazon or Azure , always on , always available , only pay for resources consumed and the added knowledge that there is more than one copy of the server in existance. You can then route direct to it from roaming laptops and thus no need for complex VPN or expensive VPN licensing , No outages can impact it (Mostly tee hee) IT may work out cheaper than you might think as no hardware costs VPN lic's maint costs , upgrade costs all moot. Be exempt from local power outages , floods , and allthat good nasty real world non virt stuff.
