Re: More Than One VPN from Home?

What about an application server at the office that the remote users
connect to? All they do are screenshots, mouse and keyboard. Virtually
no data traffic so it works real fast. I do that at a few accounts and
people love it. TS/vpn beats vpn/data just about every time.

Ta for your comments guys. Yes, it is a security hole. But in the specific
situation I need to use it, the broadband connections at the servers location
and the remote clients are not more than 1500/256k ADSL. With multiple VPN
connections connected on a DSL connection with only 256k upstream, with every
bit of client traffic using the DSL bandwidth at the SBS location, it creates
traffic slowdown to the point where the VPN is getting towards useless. If I
lived in the modern world instead of regional Australia and had access to
realistic internet connection speeds it would be a no brainer. But for these
users to be able to function, right now I can't see any other options, apart
from chucking multiple DSL connections at the head office and load balancing
them, which is a cost my client isn't prepared to make yet (of course the
argument is what would be the cost of a security breach through a remote
clients open internet connection....) The other option is running a terminal
server at head office which would decrease the amount of data traffic, but
again my (small) client already has an SBS box and won't spring for a
terminal server as well.

Sometimes you have to work with the physical and monetary limitations of
your client and situation, and make clear the vulnerabilities...or are there
other ways i should be implementing this?
