This option offers benefits like remote server access and home work flexibility, but it also has drawbacks such as potential connectivity issues and increased responsibility at home.
PPTP provides no encryption at all. Consider L2TP, SSTP, or OpenVPN instead. OpenVPN is my preferred choice since I use it regularly—it's straightforward to configure. Users only need the OpenVPN client, a profile file, and a username/password pair. A certificate is not required.
What networking gear do you currently use? Avoid PPTP; it seems you likely don’t have enterprise-level devices either. Typically, a vendor-based SSL client such as AnyConnect (Cisco ASA) is common. You can deploy OpenVPN if you have extra VM space or resources. For 2 or fewer concurrent users, an OpenVPN access server should be the simplest to configure.
