Virtual Private Networks - set up and support

VPN consists of private network access over public connections. A VPN can provide secure but more cost-effective LAN-WAN communication.

VPNs, or Virtual Private Networks, are proving to be one of the most liberating technologies to emerge from the Internet. A VPN uses the Internet to make private 'tunnels' that allow people in different locations to link into their own secure and private 'network'. This is an ideal solution for businesses that have employees working in different branch offices, from home or on the road - location no longer matters, so long as you can dial in to a local Internet service provider.

VPNs make it possible to plug in a laptop at home and be 'in the office'.

VPNs provide a secure answer to eliminating 'distance' between users, opening all manner of new opportunities for how businesses can operate. VPNs can link to all computer resources and peripherals such as printers and scanners. They can also save your business money by reducing long distance telephone charges to obtain remote access, and reducing infrastructure and overhead costs.
