Hi Guys,
I have setup a openvpn server in the office, and have got the clients setup with certificates.
Works really well for the "road warriors".
I want to make life simple for the road warriors whose two main requirements when away from the office are to use remote desktop, and access shares.
I was thinking of having the road warrior laptops connecting to the openvpn server when windows starts, and having the connection permanently nailed up.
This way they don't have to bother with connecting to the VPN first, the connection will always be there....the gateway is no redirected, so most traffic internet bound wont go out via the VPN.
My only concern with permanently having the connection nailed up is, that could it cause issues when they are actually in the office?
Is there a way to pragmatically determine this before the connection starts at windows login?
ie:
If in OFFICE then don't connect
Else CONNECT
The clients are all windows based.
Thanks in advance,
-Al
