I want all internet traffic (from computers 1 and 2) to go through my US CentOs Server. The computers on my European connection won’t take up much bandwidth (just basic e-mail checking, web browsing, etc.). I am not looking for some expensive powerhouse Cisco security appliance although; it is important that the server and the security appliance be very reliable and reconnect quickly if the connection drops. It is imperative that if the connection drops, the local U.S. Computers will not try to access the internet through my standard European connection. All traffic must go through the CentOs Server. This will be the only VPN connection to the CentOs server. I don’t want Computer 1 and Computer 2 to have any VPN software installed on them or to even be aware the VPN exists

What software will I need to install on my CentOs Server to have it act as the VPN?
What security appliance would suggest?
