I do use my moblie internet tehtered to my laptop for that use. I was just curious about the level of security I could expect from a VPN. I just got excited when I setup for my very first VPN. I Have heard Darin Talk about SSH, is that more, less, or just differently secure than a VPN? One last question, if I use a VPN, the company could see that I am USING a vpn right?

I am using the VPN service built into Win 7. Firefox But I am also trying to ensure that ALL internet traffic is being routed through the VPN not just Browser traffic. I am not sure about which DNS it is using, On the Properities of the VPN connection on the client side, it both the ipv4 and ipv6 are set to automatically obtain the addresses. Does that mean it may be using the client's network's DNS rather than the VPN's server side DNS ? How does being "domain admins" within the client side network hinder the supposed secutiry of using a VPN to protect your data as stated by : Mnemonic . Isn't the point of a VPN to be able to trust that you are being completely protected, assuming you setup the VPN correctly? Which brings me to another question is there even a way to setup up the bulit in WIN7 VPN to be completely secure?

How could they remotely examine my processes? When I am connected to a network is my computer vulnerable to a process scan? If so, what tools are available to hide processes?

I have my computer at home running a VPN server. When I take my laptop to work and connect to my VPN at home, will my work IT guys be able to see any of the traffic that I do between my VPN at home? I think of the traffic in sort of a few steps: 1. From my computer to my work's Firewall/Router [which tracks all traffic flow} 2. Then to my router at home (basicly) which I know VPN's encyrpt this traffic 3. Then to my VPN server 4. Then back out to the wide web. But Is my traffic hidden from step 1, when I say play a game like Runes of magic through the VPN connection? When I am at work, will they be able to see that I am trying to play a game? And please don't judge me for playing a game at work, just trying to understand how secure VPN are from the first beginning of the connection. Thanks,
