Virtual Private Network

VPN technology (Virtual Private Network) enables mobile and remote users to set up secure connections to the company main office network. The advantage of VPN access is that a user with the VPN connection to the company network can work in the same network environment as if the computer is directly connected to the local network on the work place. To create such connections, user just needs Internet access: dial-up, DSL, or cable; and there is no need to perform long-distance calls or rent data transfer channels. This guide describes the usage of SSL VPN (Secure Socket Layer VPN).




This technology provides the possibility to ensure a high-level security using traffic encryption and authentication. In order to establish VPN connections to corporate network, Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client (VPN Client) must be installed on the client’s computer.

SOFTSERVE  UNIVERSITY  login username and password are used for
authentication of the remote access.

The VPN access security is configured in the way that users, when setting up the
VPN connection, are assigned to predefined remote access groups

By default, when user is connected to the VPN  gateway, only the traffic from and
to the SoftServe  University  resources is routed via VPN tunnel. The rest traffic is sent via
general Internet connection and it is not secure.
