How to connect securely to your home lab

I don't know if I have share this you. But I have a home lab that I connect to from virtually anywhere in the world.

My home lab as an access server cisco 2509. As you surely know, the cisco access server 2509 doesn't support ssh connection and you know how insecure it is to use telnet.

To securely connect to my access server and freely move between my 10 others routers, I setup a remote vpn on my asa 5505.

So, now each time, I want to connect to my home lab to practice, I launch first my cisco vpn client, connect and then telnet to access server located at 10.2.1.3

I will post a video about my configuration step by step.

By the way, I don't have a static IP since my ISP CHARTER COMM can't give me one unless I sign up for the business account which will cost me more than $50.00 than what I am paying right now.
