Once you’re logged in, you’ll need to select the server you want to connect to. This will usually be done through the “Network” or “Connections” section of your VPN client. Once you’ve selected the server, simply click “Connect” and wait for the process to complete.
Once connected, your traffic will be encrypted and routed through the VPN server. This means that anyone intercepting your traffic will only see gibberish instead of your real IP address or data.
You can also use dedicated software to connect to the remote PC through a VPN. Once you’re connected, you’ll be able to access files through VPN on the host PC.
Worth knowing
1) First, you’ll need to set up your VPN connection. If you’re using Windows 10, this can be done by going to Settings > Network & Internet >VPN > Add a VPN Connection. Here you’ll need to enter in the necessary information for your VPN provider.
2) Once your VPN is set up, open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and click Connect>Database Engine.
3) In the Connect to Database Engine dialog box, type in the name of your server and choose whether to use Windows Authentication orSQL Server Authentication. For Windows Authentication, enter in your username and password for the domain account you’re using. For SQL Server Authentication, enter in the login information provided by your DBA (database administrator).
4) After entering in the correct login information, click Options>> button at bottom of Login dialog box>> checkEncrypt Connection underConnection Properties section(if not already checked). This will encrypt data sent over the VPN connection ensuring that it’s secure.
5) Click Connect and you should now be connected to your remote SQL Server!
Worth knowing
To connect to a VPN, log in with your work credentials (username and password). You may be prompted to install a VPN client app. Once the app is installed, launch it and sign in. After you’re signed in, select the server location that you want to connect to. Your device will now be connected to the VPN.
Worth knowing
There are two main ways to connect to a VPN: through an app or manual configuration. If your company has provided you with a VPN app, simply download and install it on your device. Once you open the app, enter your VPN credentials (username and password) and then select the server you wish to connect to. After a few seconds, you should be connected to the VPN and able to access all of your company’s resources as if you were on the same local network.
If you need to configure a VPN connection manually, the process will vary depending on which platform you’re using (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android etc.). However, most platforms follow a similar process: first, create a new network connection and select “VPN” as the type of connection. Then enter the necessary settings provided by your company (server address, encryption type etc.) and save the connection. To connect to the VPN simply open this new connection from within your network settings panel and enter your credentials when prompted - again after just a few moments you should be online and ready to work!
