Types of VPN Solutions
Client-Server VPN
This solution allows users working offsite or from home to access company resources such as file sharing, mail, Pastel, or any other office-based services. A Linux-based PC/server is set up on the network that needs to be accessed, and a VPN Client (small piece of software) is installed on any PC/laptop that needs to gain access to the company resources.
