VPN Support

Welcome to the world of Virtual Private Networking!

A virtual private network (VPN) is a private data network that makes use of the public telecommunication infrastructure (namely the Internet), maintaining privacy through the use of a tunneling protocol and security procedures.

The idea of the VPN is to give the company the same capabilities at much lower cost by using the shared public infrastructure rather than a private one. You can access files and resources from your connection at home (through an ISP) as though you were sitting at your workstation in the office (albeit a bit slower).

Using a VPN involves encrypting data before sending it through the public network and decrypting it at the receiving end.

VPNs extend the corporate network out to distant offices, telecommuters (home workers), travelling salespeople and business partners. This is done cost effectively, securely and easily.

Warning: As your VPN connection is an extension of your Office network, similar if not the same security measures should be followed to guard your computer from intruders. This is normally performed by the company firewall server when you are connected while in the office but is no longer the case when you are at home. Your exposure to the internet in this case should be taken into your company's security policy.

A Personal Firewall and Personal Antivirus program should be installed on your home / mobile PC. Please check with your Administrator on how to ensure this is set up and working correctly on your system before configuring your VPN connection.
