The prerequisite is an HTML-5 capable browser, which is usually used to call the company's login page. HTML-5 capable browsers are available for almost every operating system. Access is protected by a username and password.
A site-to-site VPN is essentially a private networ k designed to hide private intranets and allow users of these secure networks to access each other's resources.
A site-to-site VPN is useful if you have multiple locations in your company, each with its own local area network (LAN) connected to a WAN (Wide Area Network). Site-to-site VPNs are also useful if you have two separate intranets where you want to send files from one intranet to another without users explicitly accessing the other.
Site-to-site VPNs are most commonly used in larger companies. They are complex to implement and don't offer the same flexibility as SSL VPNs. However, they are the most effective way to communicate within and across large departments.
Client to Server VPN
Connecting via a VPN client can be thought of as connecting your home computer to the company via an extension cable. Employees can connect to the company network from their home office via a secure connection and act as if they were sitting in the office. However, a VPN client must first be installed and configured on the computer.
This involves the user not being connected to the internet through their own ISP, but establishing a direct connection through the VPN provider. This essentially shortens the tunnel phase of the VPN journey. Instead of using the VPN to create an encryption tunnel to hide the existing internet connection, the VPN can automatically encrypt the data before it is presented to the user.
