I have used some kind of remote desktop to my home computer. Depending on what OS I have at work vs home at the time, I might use Teamviewer, Windows Remote Desktop, Remmina, or some version of VNC. I also use those in the other direction, to get to my office computer to be "on campus" when working from home.

For occasional testing, it has worked for us to disconnect from the wireless service on campus and test using our phones.

Hi all,



We are looking for a solution to mimic being off-campus to test our electronic resources. I currently do this by using a VPN that I pay for myself, which is not ideal. How do other folks do this? Do you use a VPN? If so, is there a specific VPN vendor you’d recommend?



Thanks!

Denis
