overview
What is a Remote Access VPN?
A remote access VPN creates a secure, encrypted connection to a private network, ensuring safe access to company resources from any location worldwide. It establishes an encrypted tunnel between your device and the network, keeping data private while allowing access to important files and tools, just as if you were sitting at your office desk.
BENEFITS
The real-life benefits of using Remote Access VPN
For businesses, a Remote Access VPN is a game-changer. It ensures that employees can work from any location without compromising the company's data security. This flexibility boosts productivity, as teams can collaborate and access vital resources anytime, anywhere. For users, it offers peace of mind, knowing that their online activities are private and shielded from potential threats, even when accessing public Wi-Fi networks. Additionally, it facilitates seamless access to office files and tools, enhancing the overall work experience.
Secure remote work
With a Remote Access VPN, employees can seamlessly work from anywhere, ensuring they remain connected to essential company tools and databases. This guarantees a consistent work environment while maintaining a top-notch security standard.
Access control
VPNs empower businesses to set access boundaries. By stipulating who accesses what, companies can offer tailored access to partners and vendors, ensuring data is shared with only those deemed trustworthy.
Regulatory compliance
Remote Access VPNs are more than just security tools; they are compliance enablers. Companies can confidently uphold stringent industry regulations, ensuring data handling meets set guidelines and standards.
Data encryption
As users connect remotely, a VPN acts as a protective shield, encrypting data in transit. This safeguard ensures that company secrets and sensitive details remain secure, even on public networks.

Frequently asked questions
By utilizing AES-256 bit encryption, NordLayer’s solution creates a secure tunnel between endpoints — effectively blocking all traffic from outside the network.
Remote access is a byproduct of a secure connection to an internal network from an external one. In simple terms, by using a VPN for remote workers, you can securely access files, sites, and apps from anywhere.
NordLayer office and Remote Access VPN offers three types of tunneling protocols. These are:
- NordLynx - A new-generation VPN protocol offering improved connection, fast speeds, and robust security measures.
- OpenVPN (UDP) - A good combination of speed and security, but it 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.
There is no one protocol more secure than another — they all offer pros and cons of different varieties, though. Please refer to the question above.
A site-to-site VPN creates an encrypted tunnel from one network to a remote site — think about it like this: a connection between a file server in the office and a user sitting at home. A site-to-site VPN only allows for one connection at a time
Conversely, a Remote Access VPN allows multiple users to connect to a private network in order to access the resources and services of your company. It’s beneficial for businesses that have multiple remote employees.
