    VPN = Virtual Private Network, essentially it allows you to connect to a private network (eg company or home) over the internet as if you were directly connected to it.

    PS3s have no native VPN support. you can only use proxy servers.

    In theory you can set up a proxy server on a normal pc which is connected to the VPN.
  • Your best bet would probably be to configure your router to connect up to the VPN then you don't need to worry about configuring your PS3 or anything else on your network.

    If your home router doesn't already support VPN check to see if you can put DD-WRT on it, if not find one that'll support it, you can find one for less than 30 quid, probably closer to 20 now.
