I have a home network and can't access the VPN, what can I do?

Frequently Asked Questions - Faq - Newcastle University
Home networks can be setup in a number of different ways and usually use NAT to share a single IP address with the rest of the network. Since there are so many different ways to run a home network we can't provide support to users on this issue. There are a few ways you can connect to the VPN but they may not all be possible depending on your ISP and the type of NAT router you use. These same options also work with wireless networks.

Should I use a firewall if I have more than one computer in a home or small-office network?

Firewall: FAQ
Yes. If you have more than one computer in a home or small-office network, you should protect every computer in the network. Turning on Windows Firewall or another firewall on every connection will help prevent the spread of a virus from one computer to another in your network if one of your computers becomes infected. However, if you open an infected e-mail attachment, the firewall won't block it and it can infect your computer. You should install an antivirus program as well.

Will I be able to use a virtual private network (VPN) with the WildBlue service?

IP Sec-based VPNs may work over the WildBlue network, but will likely be much slower (and perhaps not useable) due to the effects of latency. The WildBlue system is engineered to help offset the impact of latency, which is the delay caused by sending signals from the earth to the satellite and back again.
