VPN remote access
solution?
----------
Im looking for a solution
to handle remote access
at our company. We
support systems that we
have at customers. These
systems would be for
example baggage handling
systems, with PLC's,
HLC's, servers etc.
In
short a wide variety of
clients. Because the
machines are in the
customers network we need
access to the machines
remotely. We used to do
this by placing a VPN
server device at the
customers side and
connecting to that so we
could access our part of
the network behind it.
However many customers do
not want a device in
their network with
incoming connections that
they dont
control.
So we are
looking for a solution
where there are no
incoming connections at
the customer, but rather
the opposite: a client at
the customer LAN
connecting towards a VPN
server at our LAN.
Outgoing connections are
usually less of a
problem.
Something like
below (cant use html
here):

The idea is
that our LAN and the
customer LAN are somehow
connected (with VPN?),
ensuring that Client 1
can directly access
client 2 and support it
remotely, or client 1 to
3, same idea.
One
problems is that client 2
or 3 could be a PLC,
which means you cant
directly access it. You
need to be able to
connect towards it with
special software
available on client 1,
hence the direct access
is
important.
Could
you place some sort of
device in the place of
the "?????" on the
drawing that connects
towards the VPN device
and then routes the
incoming traffic client 1
sends over the VPN tunnel
towards the clients
behind it (client 2, 3
etc)?
Im really
drawing a blank on how to
solve
this.
Thanks! |
