  • Make employees and suppliers can connect to the main office from their homes.
  • Among other uses …

TECHNOLOGY

There are different VPN technologies, however, one of the most used is OpenVPN. Unlike other solutions, OpenVPN provides data compression , which means that, in addition to being encrypted, the data is compressed while traveling over the network, making the connection faster.

OpenVPN is a free software based solution, that is, no licenses are paid for it, which encrypts the information based on SSL certificates. Similar to those used to enter the bank’s website. This is installed on a server in the company which will allow access by the user or the remote network.
