VPN’s allow computer processing to be taken on by the home computer that is accessing the work computer. The remote desktop connection is also unable to make use of the resources on the home computer, so if the office computer is slow, all computing tasks will be slow. Remote desktop connections can feel slow or even unusable if the bandwidth of either connection is insufficient for the data streaming necessary to sustain a remote connection. And because uploading data is vastly slower than downloading it on most non-commercial internet connections, this speed bottleneck can be quite substantial if you’re trying to send large files to the accessed office PC. The slowest internet connection between the computer doing the accessing and the computer being accessed will dictate how fast this process can be. While using a VPN, traffic going to the office PC must become encrypted, pass through the internet, and then be decrypted once it reaches the private network at the office. Both options are supported for Windows and Mac computers, and both options have pros and cons depending on the type of computing you need to do. On the other hand, remote desktop connections enable two or more PCs to be connected over a network under the control of one keyboard, monitor, and mouse. VPN connections allow you to make a secure connection to a private network, including computers at the office, through the unsecured public network known as the Internet. You could connect to your office PC using a remote desktop connection service like GoToMyPC or LogMeIn, or you could connect using a virtual private network (VPN) service like HideMyAss or StrongVPN. If you’re at home but need access to your office computer, you have two options. Explain how the two can help us get access to a remote PC, and what the advantages per solution are.
Your article should make a comparison between two different ways to connect to a remote PC either by using remote desktop software such as GoToMyPC or LogMeIn or a VPN service such as IPVanish or boxpn.
