[AccessD] Access database on the Internet

VPN is nothing like Terminal Server.

VPN (Virtual Private Networking) creates a "tunnel" to
act as a LAN connection to a private network via the
Internet.  This "virtual private network" tunnel
allows you to act as if you were physically hard-wired
to the LAN.

You're thinking of VNC.  Which is an Open
Source/Freeware remote desktop tool similar to
PCanywhere/Terminal Server/Citrix Metaframe.
