Virtual Private Networks started as a hobby of ours. Now they have become one of our most regular consultancy tasks!
A VPN can be used to join together two or more remote offices over the internet securely.
Alternatively, you can use
one to allow your users to dial into your network from their homes or on the road. These are so-called "road warriors".
The final use of VPN's are to add additional security to links which you consider to be "crackable" - even if these are on your own LAN!
We typically use VPN's to help secure wireless networks. This enables you to use a wireless network with older hardware that is only capable of WEP
encryption and secure it with an L2TP/IPSec VPN using 3DES or AES encryption!
There are various types of VPN, PPTP, IPSec, L2TP with IPSec or SSL. Once you are connected to a VPN, it's as though you are connected to
your main network, from wherever you are!
The main disadvantage of a VPN is that they can be quite complex to setup and perfect, depending on the type of network you opt for.
Here we can help you. Based on your requirements, we design the system for you, recommending hardware and finally setting the system up
on your site.
We can supply or advise on a range of solutions for VPN's including:
- Hardware VPN routers (using L2TP/IPSec, IPSec or PPTP)
- Windows servers (L2TP/IPSec, IPSec, PPTP or OpenVPN SSL)
- Linux servers (L2TP/IPSec, IPSec, PPTP or OpenVPN SSL)
