Dan, it is easy peasy, but not quite free, as if you want 24/7 access to the box, you have to keep the system running 24-7, so electricity costs. Plus, I’m planning on having others log in as well, thus I don’t want to open up my network like that. That’s why I’m looking for a free hosted/Cloud solution. That way someone else can deal with the rest of the network security. I do enough of that for work anyway, don’t want to have to monitor my home network as thoroughly.
