I don't know what VPN system you are using, or have looked at, but we are using a Cisco VPN. Only domain members can connect using it. If you try to install the client on your home PC, then is tries to authenticate the computer agains the domain, which fails.
The national network people set up a category for suppliers/contractors that does not do this, but you don't need to. >From what I've seen VPNs provide MORE secure than any other option, not less. Under our setup, when I connect my laptop using VPN, my home network disappears, so I CANNOT transmit malware directly from my home network to their network. Well, can't while connected to VPN anyway :) Unfortunately I don't have a copy of the client available right now, so can't tell you version, but if you are interested, email me off-list --BM On Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 11:24 AM, Glen Johnson <[email protected]> wrote: > Guess I should have been clearer, non state owned computers cannot > connect to our LAN so no VPN. > Not just security but policy I don't make, just enforce. > Thanks. > Glen. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
