Remote access / Virtual Private Networks
Remote access is a set of technologies that transparently connects a computer, typically located in an off-site or remote location, to a network. Remote access is typically used by organizations to connect an employee's laptop or home computer to an organization's network to read email or access shared files and by Internet service providers (ISPs) to connect a customer to the Internet.
Users run remote access client software and initiate a connection to a remote access server. The remote access server authenticates users and services sessions until terminated by the user or a network administrator. All services typically available to a LAN-connected user (including file and print sharing, Web server access, and messaging) are enabled by means of the remote access connection.
