That's what I use, but whether it's best for OP's needs is subject to 
some debate. Windows comes with VPN software, and Arun
  may prefer something that's compatible with it.

Note that the one time I set up a Windows VPN, Windows wanted to send 
all its traffic through it. It was not what I expected, and certainly 
what I'd normally want.

OTOH if the remote users are using ADSL routers or similar, VPNs between 
those may be preferable.
