Re: Security and VPN

["Matthew Leeds" <mleeds () theleeds net>]

In general, if you're offering IPSEC VPN, you're extending the wire at your office to the home. Whatever policy you 
have for the office you now need to extend to the home.

Password access to log into the computer.
Firewall.
Anti-virus.

and so on.
