TSK VPN 1

 

If you have a suitable TSK login account and want remote access then you need to set up a VPN !

A VPN is a secure internet connection from the computer you are using to the TSK network. It allows you to access the same resources you have access to when connected within the office network however it is limited by the speed of your internet connection ! 
For TSK E-mail only, you do not actually need a VPN as 'Outlook Web Access' and 'Outlook Anywhere' is available.
Refer to the guide Configure Web E-Mail for TSK for further information.


If you are using a PUBLIC computer in say a cafe, you should not attempt to set up a VPN without permission. It will probably be refused however if acceptable, when finished you MUST disconnect and then REMOVE the VPN before departing.  Setting up the VPN is quite straight forward for Microsoft Windows users and is available on most major Operating Systems including Linux and Mac.

Windows Users: There is a small executable program downloadable below which does most of the work for you.
As a windows user you do however need to know whether you are using a 32 Bit or 64 Bit operating system !

If you are unsure whether the version of Windows you are using is 32 or 64 bit, there is an easy way to check:
From the start menu, if you are using Windows XP or Server 2003 select My Computer or From Vista, Windows 7 or Server 2008 simply select Computer to get a list of the Storage Drives on your computer. (Windows 2000 is only 32 Bit !)
Most windows computers use Hard Disk Drive C: as the home for Windows. Open this drive 1st and locate a folder called Windows.
When you have found the hard disk with a folder called Windows then that is probably the 'System Drive' so all you need to do is see if this drive also has both a Program Files and Program Files (x86) folder for 64 Bit systems. 32 Bit systems only have Program Files.
