Hi, sorry in advance if these kind of normie questions are a bother.
My wife does graphic design work for a (very)small town printing and promotional company. We had a baby four months ago and she's been doing some piecework from our computer at home lately.
The town IT guy helped then set up OpenVPN so she could access work files from home. Sometimes it works fine(ungodly slow, but these are large CorelDraw and Photoshop files so that's probably unavoidable) but almost weekly the damn thing stops working because reasons.
The town IT guy is nice enough but it's frustrating for us and him to have to mess with it constantly. Could be he didn't set it up great to begin with or we're not using it right, I don't know. I've posted so many log files to the OpenVPN forum and pounded my head against the keyboard so many times and for so long trying to help with varying degrees of success. It'd be less time consuming and much less frustrating to just go in every morning with a USB stick and get the days' files manually that way.
Are there any good alternatives to using OpenVPN? Is a VPN even what we want? I appreciate any advice.
