| "My VPN network only accept wired connection"
...that's something your work may tell you just to eliminate problems and simplify troubleshooting. If you have a good wireless signal and reliable connection to the Internet, VPN will work fine - I do it all the time.
A "VPN client" (software) installed on a laptop, can use a Starbucks or other wireless connection to reach the VPN endpoint over the Internet, no problem.
If you have a home network, you can also replace that firewall/router with a compatible one and it will form the VPN tunnel with the endpoint (rather then software running on the laptop) This has the advantage if you have multiple devices at home that need to access work resources, you don't have to run multiple VPN clients on each device. Either a hardware device or software can act as a VPN client and initiate a tunnel to the endpoint (work).
At your office you will either have a VPN server (software running on a server) or a VPN firewall/router (I prefer this method for reliability reasons) that becomes the VPN endpoint.
Example devices include Netgear FVS series Cisco ASA 55xx series, etc. |
