Virtual Private Network ( VPN )

A Virtual Private Network opens a secure communications path through the internet to a

closed secure intranet. If your intranet has VPN capabilities then you could access your

closed secure local area network (LAN) from anywhere in the world that you could

establish a session with the internet and your PC or workstation given that you have the

proper matching VPN software loaded on your PC or workstation.

In instances where the target system is at the end of a satellite link one should not expect

blazing fast performance from the tunneled VPN packets. Also, because of NAPT on the

residential service VPN can not function. One must have a static IP address the be able to

communicate with the VPN server target on the secure LAN.

Hughes Direcway does offer a VPN service for companies by allowing them to place a

VPN host at the Direcway NOC. This is doable since the satellite network is a closed and

trusted network. It is generally not cost effective for small businesses to consider.
