Virtual Private Network
There are three ways you can connect to the management network.
| 1. | Connect via SSL VPNLog in to Virtual Private Network and enter your username and password to create a private SSL tunnel to the management network. | |
| 2. | Connect using PPTP VPNFollow the instructions in our Customer Portal. | |
| 3. | Connect via IPSEC VPNFor an additional fee you can have an IPSEC VPN connection from your office network to the management network. Contact Sales for more information. |
Once connected with either method, you will be granted access to your private VLAN which will allow you to connect to your server(s) private IP address via SSH, terminal services, or other server control type applications. Each user must have the appropriate VPN access type enabled to connect, also located inside our customer portal.
