There are numerous specific technical requirements, but there probably aren't any legal requirements, if you're talking about the United States. In the U.S., the Internet is a lawless place, with good people and also numerous thieves and vandals. So you want to protect yourself with encryption, etc., but the laws probably won't protect you. Your ISP may have an Acceptable Use Policy that is relevant. If you already have a "business account" with the ISP, I would guess that both VPN clients and concentrators are permitted. But that depends on the ISP. If you have an "end-user account," then a VPN concentrator might be ouside the acceptable use policy. You also posted an empty message that said "Thank-you for the info." What info? If someone did help you, it might be nice to share it with us all so the group benefits. And people who answer should answer to the entire group. Also, empty messages waste bandwidth.
