Re: Preference for Mini PC for "jump" box
|
Hi, last time i checked, there were also devices with a LAN port available (wired RAP). But the Arubas were only an example. Sometimes they are called "VPN boxes" or "VPN gateways" - basically a box you connect with the remote LAN and then it call home to the preconfigured VPN server. But it?s true, most of them are not cheap and hard to configured, especially on the server side.?
The problem i see with all these solutions (inlcuding Martin?s): the corporate networks i know would block unknown devices from calling home, best move them automatically to a guest LAN (e.g. for BYOD) where you need to register first and with very limited internal connectivity. So you need to deal with the IT dep. anyway.?

Not relevant to AV remote access that I can tell.
These kind of devices are usually called "remote access points" and are available for quite some time now.
What distinguishes your solution from solutions like e.g. this one? =>?
(it?s not meant to be "know-all", i?m really curious)
