Is it possible to share a vpn connection in a lan established by a pc behind a router?
I am asking because my router doesnt support vpn. |

Should be possible if you can forward the vpn port to a computer in your network. You could use the vpn computer as your gateway and direct internet packets to your router and vpn packets to your vpn. Of course this computer will have to be on the whole time then. |

if its a vpn peer to peer in the same lan you dont need to forward any ports, else you need to forward the port that the protocol you are using to the vpn uses.
What kind of protocol are u thinking to use??
im using ipsec and there are some good tutorials in the web, try the wiki-gentoo.org

local LAN and remote LAN should be on different subnets.
Most routers have an interface that will let you add a static route that would use the local VPN endpoint as the gateway for the remote LAN, so any client machines on the local LAN can reach the remote LAN. make sense? |

i want to use the relakks vpn service.
my proxy server which is behind the router who is establishing the internet connection should build up this vpn connection and all the other pcs in my local network should use this vpn connection to access the internet. |
