VPN from Windows

We have the ability to securely connect remotely through VPN to the Lab's Local Network and login to our account on Windows or Linux as if we were there.

The procedure has 2 steps. Initially we make the VPN connection and then we login to the Windows or Linux OS of the lab.

• On Windows 7 OS we need the following prerequisites before the installation.
