Frequently asked questions

  • Remote access — Connects individual users to specific host networks. This connection is temporary rather than permanent and is used by remote employees accessing files in the central hub. Often used to facilitate remote workers.

As they perform the same function, businesses will select the type of VPN connection that best suits their individual needs.

NordLayer Cloud VPN offers 3 types of tunneling (encryption) protocols:

  • IPSec/IKEv2 — A dependable, stable option – especially when moving between different networks.
  • OpenVPN (UDP) — A good combination of speed and security, but may not work on all networks.
  • OpenVPN (TCP) — A secure and reliable protocol — although slower than UDP, TCP works on the vast majority of networks.
  • NordLynx — A wireguard VPN protocol — lightweight, faster, more secure than OpenVPN.
