Connecting to a VPN from Your Unit
Connecting to a VPN from Your Unit
Note: Only administrator-level users can install software under Windows.
However, when the installation is complete, all users have the possibility to
connect to the newly installed VPN from the unit.
You can connect to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) from your unit if you
use one of the VPN clients (applications) that are part of Windows, or
provide your own compatible VPN client (Windows 10 and Windows 8.1
Pro only). Such clients allow you to connect to the VPN of your company
from anywhere in the world and have access to network resources as if
your unit was connected locally to the network. This could be useful if you
need to transfer data to a centralized folder on the company’s private
network, for example.
To establish the communication between the VPN client and the VPN
server, you can use either a mobile broadband USB modem key
(see Accessing the Internet with a Mobile Broadband USB Modem Key on
page 131) or a standard Ethernet connection.
Note: Since all networks are different, the parameters that you need to configure
before being able to connect to the VPN may vary. For information on the
configuration specific to your network, contact your network administrator.
IMPORTANT
 EXFO does not provide any VPN clients. You must either use one
of the VPN clients available directly in Windows or provide the
installation files for another VPN client yourself.
 EXFO will not provide any support regarding the VPN clients or
connection.
