VPN Across Continents? |
|
|
I am in the US and will be moving to India soon. I plan to connect to my
office network using VPN from there. I have a 1.28 Mbps SDSL connection in
the office. I will have a cable internet connection in India. We have Win2K
server in the office.
Currently, my laptop at home (5 miles from my office in the US) has Win2K
and I am able to connect to my office network using VPN.
Q1. I guess, on the internet, actual physical distance does not matter in
terms of configuration - is that right? I should be able to vpn to my office
network from anywhere in the world as long as I have connectivity to the
internet - Is that right?
Q2. Anyone has ideas (experience) as to what connection speeds/delays I can
expect?
Thanks. |

Not the length of the cables matter but the number of routers between
the two ends of your vpn connection.
The packet turn-around times (ping) will go up but that does not
influence sigificantly large data transfers. The longer turn-around
times will only be noticable in real time sessions (like telnet) or
online games...

Absolutely possible. We have offices in the US and India and do it
ourselves.
