Oh wise persons on the mount,
A friend of mine runs a small biz out of his home. There are 4 full time
employees, I think. He's very mobile, and uses his laptop frequently from
other locations with high-speed access. He wants to be able to run a
certain app that you have to connect to a server for. I believe this calls
for VPN, no? (They are running all Windows PCs).
I'm trying to hash-out our options. I know one is to setup a Linux server
and setup SWAN or whatever VPN. I want to know what my other options are
as well before I make a pitch.
Are there wireless/router/switches like boxes available with VPN? (Think
Linksys, Dlink, etc.). It seems this would be a popular feature, and would
be a lot more sensible in regards to future maintenance than setting up a
whole server just for VPN.
Thanks, oh wise persons,
